cable management
Increasingly complex technical challenges of stage productions need clever engineering. Learn about igus e-spools, zigzag systems and chainflex cables at The ABTT Show next week. Fantastic stage designs transform in seconds automatically. Giant mechanised props are lifted and rotated with ease. Lighting rigs, trusses and whole stage sets must be moved and stowed quickly and […]
New small rotary module for robots, handling and camera systems saves up to 73% cost It’s lightweight, compact and made entirely of plastic: the new Polymer Rotation Module (or PRM) rotary energy supply system from igus. igus has now developed a system comprising a polymer energy chain and a low-friction plastic guide channel especially for […]
Long service life of igus chainflex high-end TPE cables convinces inspectors and gives customers certified safety igus is the first cable manufacturer in the world to receive UL AWM certification from US validation agency Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for its high-end TPE cables, which do not require fire-retardant halogens as additives. This is the first time […]

igus® has developed the e-rib to safely guide cables inside corrugated hoses. Now it has developed a system of reinforcements at both ends as well as rotary unions, to offer a full solution for high-speed SCARA applications.The system is easy to retrofit or can be delivered as a fully harnessed system with igus® chainflex® cables. […]
12th November, 2019 igus has introduced the e-loop energy chain for safe cable management on top drives for deep drilling rigs. The new modular system, which is made of high-performance plastic, ensures a defined minimum bend radius of the cables and withstands adverse weather conditions, as well as vibration and shock. In addition to use […]
September 3rd, 2019 With the e-skin flat and the e-skin soft, igus offers two new space-saving energy chain systems for use in cleanroom applications. Developed for tight installation spaces on short, self-supporting travels, e-skin soft is made of a softer material than the standard e-skin. As the name suggests, e-skin flat is for very flat […]
