Section 4. Cable Carrier Installation
Introduction
Cable carriers are also called “e-chains”. These components are used to house and protect the power
and communication cables during operation. As the machine moves, the carriers ex and support the
cables to keep them organized and prevent tangling or damage. All tools feature a Y-axis cable carrier
going from the top of the gantry to the YZ car. X-axis cable carriers are included with PRSalpha and
PRSstandard machines 96” and above. 48” or 72” X-axis machines use the included “cable carrier
kit” to keep the cables organized along the X-axis. Instructions for these should be included in the
shipment. If not, they can be accessed under the “E-Chain” section at http://www.shopbottools.com/

The cable carriers are sized to match the length of the ShopBot’s axes. They are center-mounted,
meaning that they will be shorter than the actual length of the machine.
