Eisele Multiline: multi-couplings, several media in one connection
When a machine part, tool or module has to be changed, the biggest problem is not the changeover time but the number of operations. Disconnecting and reconnecting six separate tubes takes minutes, requires a technician who knows which tube goes where, and introduces the chance of an incorrect connection with every change.
Multiline solves this by combining several media in one coupling body. Compressed air, vacuum, gases, cooling water, liquids and electrical and electronic connections are connected in one movement, mechanically guided, so incorrect connection is not possible.
Applications
- Tool change: fast changeover of moulds and tools
- Robotics and end-of-arm tooling: media supply to interchangeable grippers
- Modular machine construction: detachable modules with complete media supply
- Test setups: changing test objects with identical connection
- Maintenance-friendly design: machine parts that must be quickly removable
What the line includes
Multiple coupling bodies: one coupling combining several media channels, so you make all connections in one operation.
Modular construction: the system is assembled from building blocks. You decide which media and how many connections are combined: compressed air, vacuum, gases, coolant, liquids and electrical or electronic connections.
Mechanical guidance and locking: guidance ensures reproducible coupling and rules out incorrect connection. There are versions for manual and for machine coupling.
Material versions: available in aluminium and stainless steel. For food processing, all parts are made of stainless steel with FDA-compliant seals.
All-electric versions: in addition to combined media/electrical solutions, versions for electrical and electronic connections only are also possible.
Technical framework
| Media | Compressed air, vacuum, gases, cooling water, liquids, electrical signals |
| Materials | Aluminium, stainless steel |
| Construction | Modular, configurable per application |
| Coupling method | Manual or machine, with mechanical guidance |
| Food version | All stainless steel with FDA-compliant seals |
Multiline is custom work: start with your application
Unlike the other lines, you do not order Multiline from a list of item numbers. The configuration follows from your situation: which media, how many connections, which flows and pressures, and whether coupling is manual or automated.
It therefore pays to contact us early in your design process. Together with you, we take stock of the media requirements and come up with a proposal for the construction. Do you already have a diagram or drawing? Send it along; that speeds up the process considerably.
Frequently asked questions
Which media can I combine in one Multiline coupling?
Compressed air, vacuum, gases, coolant and other liquids can be combined, as well as electronics and electrical wiring. Which combination is possible depends on the number of connections and the required flows.
Is Multiline suitable for the food industry?
Ja. For applications in food processing, all parts are made of stainless steel and the seals are FDA-compliant.
Is Multiline suitable for automatic coupling?
There are versions that are coupled by machine, with mechanical guidance for reproducible positioning. State in your request whether coupling is manual or automated.
Can Multiline be integrated into an existing machine?
In veel gevallen wel, mits er inbouwruimte is en de mediavoorziening toegankelijk is. Share your situation with us, preferably with a drawing or photo of the current setup.
How does a Multiline project work at Inacom?
You indicate which media and how many connections you want to combine. We take stock of the technical requirements and come back with a configuration proposal and quotation.
