Adjusting the cable tray for spare part chains that are longer than the original
Chains longer than the original chain can be installed on single carriage tracks. In
order to do this the fixed point of the chain will need to be moved, to allow for the
extra length. Ensure that the replacement chain is not longer than twice the track
length.
Principle of creating more space for a longer cable chain
The cable chain is fastened to the fixing connector at the middle of the cable tray.
By moving the fixing connector forwards, and thereby moving the fixed point
forwards, more space is created in the cable tray to suit for a longer cable chain.
More brackets and sheet metals may need to be swapped around if the chain is
excessively long.
