One of the most modern towing platforms to
test ships’ models: all the lines and cables,
Ethernet connections and glass fibre technology
are bundled in the guides – supplied
with 380 V. Special guide rails suspended at
a height of 2.50 metres are used. e-chains®
from igus® from the 3500 R series are used for
the cable guide. This allowed cable lengths to
be reduced and mechanical problems to be
minimised at the same time.
