e-chain
Complicated stage applications can be implemented even in confined spaces and with high loads using moving energy supply systems such as the e-spool and the zig-zag systems. The challenge for every stage and set builder is to design and build the perfect stage. Every job is different because stages are not off-the-shelf. Every stage is […]
The award-winning, modular alternative to ribbon cable proves its particle-free qualities in Fraunhofer cleanroom test. In clean room environments such as laboratories, energy chains required to manage cables and hoses safely must be particle-free. igus has developed the e-skin flat, an economical alternative to ribbon cables due to its modular design. Proof that the energy […]
In this video you can see the comparison between the assembly time of an igus® plastic cobot clamp and the metal version. There simply is no comparison when it comes to the speed, however the metal ones can sometimes be the better option when there is a faster motion. Luckily igus® offers both options! So, […]
Whether it be vertical or horizontal the igus® e-chain® will protect your cables. In this week’s video of the week, you can see how the igus® e-chains® are used on their side. No restrictions to the movement, no interruption to power, no problem. Click here to view the video https://youtu.be/BM7p-QdUSmU For more information on igus® […]
A telescopic triflex® TRX energy chain for robots from igus saves space and provides a withdrawal path of up to 40 per cent less. Robots can be limited in their range of movement by the cable retraction system. To allow cables in industrial robots to move safely, easily and compactly, igus has developed the four-dimensional […]
igus launches a new design of a particle-free and lightweight energy guide for clinical environments High abrasion resistance is crucial for machine elements in cleanrooms. In response, igus has developed the C6, an energy chain that is designed to meet the highest cleanroom class. The new chain is specially designed for longer unsupported applications on […]
New i.Cee:local module predicts the service life of machines and manufacturing systems, making maintenance more efficient and predictable Motion plastics leader igus has developed a new predictive maintenance device, a new home for the software to power its smart plastics products – the i.Cee:local module. The module calculates the remaining service life of the energy […]
E2.1 e-chains for small and medium-sized applications reduce noise by 10dB and assembly time by 50%. Energy supply using polymer e-chains are virtually unlimited, whether the application is linear, vertical or rotational. And new polymer materials, improved designs and customer-specific requirements are continually expanding the product range, exemplified by the E2.1, the new e-chain standard […]
For extreme environments, it is vital that your energy and data supply is protected. igus® energy chains withstand dirt, humidity and other harsh environmental factors in industries such as recycling and composting plants. This week’s video of the week highlights the energy chains capabilities in some extreme conditions For more information regarding the igus® e-chains® […]
With its easy opening design, the E4.1L e-chain® can be filled 51% faster and closed 86% faster when compared to the E4.42 series. The E4.1L can also be delivered complete with drive cables, saving you time when installing. This week’s video of the week is taken from the test laboratory in Cologne. See for yourself […]
