The success story of the cable carrier specialist began in 1954 with the invention of the steel chain and the founding of Kabelschlepp GmbH in Siegen. The product established itself in a very short time, and successful markets developed from the idea.
Today, KABELSCHLEPP is a global player with foreign representatives and subsidiaries in over 70 countries, and the cable drag chain is an integral part of every machine. KABELSCHLEPP is now part of the TSUBAKI Group;
The aim was to complement the product portfolio and exploit synergies in the areas of development and sales. The company’s innovative products are proving their worth in countless applications in a wide range of industries around the world – and no longer just in traditional areas of application such as machine tools, crane systems, car washes or medical and laboratory technology, but also in industrial robots, offshore oil drilling platforms or space travel. The field of industrial automation would also be virtually inconceivable without a moving cable carrier.
Today, TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP is one of the world’s leading, if not the leading, company in steel cable drag chains. TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP has also made great strides with other materials: There is no material dogma at TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP; in addition to steel chains, the full product range also includes plastic or hybrid systems. With different materials in the product portfolio, the company is prepared for almost all demanding applications: The variety makes it possible to serve all application areas and to provide completely objective advice. Today, there is the optimum solution for every individual challenge – in standard widths or custom-made to fit precisely in millimeter increments. The extensive product and accessory range comprises a total of over 100,000 variants. These include strain reliefs, separator systems, ducts, hoses, cables and connectors.
