Industrial manufacturing

Compact slip ring with multiple connection cables for industrial applications.

Efficiency in movement

“We design and manufacture slip rings for industrial applications in which everything has to run smoothly: highly efficient, customer-specific and reliable. That makes us a technology partner who creates value added.”

Precision requires partnership

The requirements on slip ring systems in industry are increasing due to ever-smaller installation spaces and more customized solutions. The integration in confined installation situations thus only succeeds through close collaboration based on partnership – ideally throughout the project, not just during the development phase. We cultivate this with our customers and offer transmission solutions for everything that rotates – from motion control to installations for rotary tables to rotation checks.

Whether for machine tools, metal-processing machines or production lines, SCHLEIFRING has the ideal solution. This is ensured by our MIA configuration system (Modular Industrial Application) for industrial slip rings and our gold-on-gold contact technology. The latter serves the transmission of power, signals and data via various bus systems. In total, up to 120 transmission paths can be configured by combining different functional units. There are also add-on modules for additional power, Gigabit Ethernet or media rotary joints. No need for maintenance. All components are designed for 50 million revolutions.

Slip rings for laser cutters

Laser cutters use a laser beam to melt, vaporize or burn off material, thus producing precise cuts or engravings. Laser cutters are known in wide-ranging fields of application for their precision, speed and versatility. Their applications are manifold: from cutting of sheet metal, pipes and sections made of various metals to processing of wood and plastics.

Through-bore slip rings

With the MAVERIC series, we offer compact through-bore slip rings designed specifically for the rotary transmission requirements of machine tools, revolving doors, rotary tables and robot arms as well as other applications. The freely definable internal diameter ensures simple installation directly on the shaft. The models differ with regard to their dimensions and the number of transmission paths as well as the currents and voltages that can be transmitted. All models fulfill the requirements of protection class IP50 and are able to rotate at up to 300 rpm. Cable lengths of 250 mm on both the rotor and stator make it easier to integrate them into existing systems.

Beverage bottles in an automated filling line with slip ring technology

Slip rings for filling plants

Slip rings are also used during the manufacture of everyday products. Even in processes in which one would never expect to find them: for example, the filling of beverage bottles.

The challenge: Pouring the beverage into the bottle in a matter of seconds and then sealing it. In sophisticated filling systems this is achieved through the precise combination of rotation and pressure. Slip rings transmit both the current for the system and the compressed air required to fill the bottle.
