ACE-SLAB damping pads protect man and machine. At the beginning of the construction phase of a modern processing center at the end position, a 55 lb cable channel collided with force against the housing and produced a deafening noise and mechanical strain on the energy chain. A reliable solution for compliance with the operational parameters was realized with the SL-030-25 ACE-SLAB damping pads even before the milling machine was finished.
