Low-cost cable carrier for unsupported lengths offers stability with minimal weight
igus has added a new addition to its energy chain product portfolio: the E4Q, a globally proven e-chain for applications with long cantilever lengths and high fill weights, is now available as an “L” version. With the E4Q.64L, users for whom the E4Q was previously oversized can save up to 20% in costs. They still […]
Tailor-made solution: first igus e-chain rack from additive manufacturing
igus is expanding its line of pre-assembled cable carrier solutions with the first ever 3D-printed e-chain. The new readychain p-rack (printed rack) can be adapted to customer requirements with millimeter precision. The readychain rack is a modular assembly and transport rack for harnessed energy supply systems, one that igus has been offering for over ten […]
snapchain 2.0 is small, compact, and cost-effective energy supply system
igus, the Germany-based manufacturer of motion plastics and moving cable management systems, has introduced snapchain 2.0, a specially designed system for low-stress and flat cable packages. The cable management system consists of just one side link, to which cables can be fixed with cable tie wraps. It is made entirely of recyclate, so it is […]
Maximum safety in battery production: first certified energy chain for the dry cleanroom
Whenever the highest hygiene standards are required, igus scores high with dry-running and abrasion-resistant plastic components for movement. In particular, battery production for tomorrow’s mobility requires special environmental conditions, which are achieved through the combination of dry rooms and cleanrooms. The Fraunhofer IPA has developed a new type of certificate for precisely these requirements. The […]
igus energy supply, the only one of its kind in the world, makes jib cranes safer
Energy and data cables hanging from jib cranes often pose a great risk. Careless movement of loads, forklifts, or other slewing crane systems in the immediate vicinity can cause them to become entangled and torn off. igus has therefore developed the guidelok swing, the only energy supply system of its kind in the world. It […]
igus introduces world’s first cable for hanging applications
igus, maker of motion plastics and moving cable management systems, has introduced a new hybrid cable for SEW EURODRIVE’s MOVILINK DDI technology. A unique aramid support element gives the CFSPECIAL.192 500% more tensile strength than a standard MOVILINK DDI cable, enabling five times the distance in vertical hanging applications. Machines have to work reliably around […]
Smart e-chains made easy through online configurator
igus now offers a wide range of online tools to streamline assembling ready-to-connect e-chain cable carrier systems in just a few steps. The tools include the “e-chain expert,” which enables interested parties to assemble an individual e-chain energy chain system in just three steps. Price, service life, and delivery time are displayed. For the first […]
New E4Q e-chain with extender crossbars for safe guidance of large hoses
igus has developed a new extender crossbar design for its E4Q modular energy chain series to guide large hoses safely. With the help of an adapter system, the e-chain can be individually adapted to the hose diameter. The tool-free E4Q opening mechanism ensures easy energy supply installation and filling. In 2019, igus launched a new […]
Two new hybrid cables from igus suitable for Bosch Rexroth and Siemens
Energy and data transmission bundled in one cable. Hybrid technology is gaining acceptance among more and more drive manufacturers. Given this ongoing trend, igus is expanding its chainflex cable portfolio with two new hybrid cables. The first is the CF280.UL.H401 with PUR jacket suitable for the modular drive system ctrlX DRIVE from Bosch Rexroth for […]
