Are you interested in our energy chain but would like to see it for yourself first before making a final decision?
Then you are welcome to order a free sample from us.
Our polymer energy chains are already in use in many hundreds of thousands of applications around the world - from automatic beverage machines to CNC machines and steelworks. Unsupported lengths can be bridged without problems and long travels are conceivable for a wide varieties of industries and manufacturing sectors. It has a modular design and is therefore easy to assemble. Here, you can design the right energy chain for your application!
The term 'energy chain' or 'e-chain' is closely related to the terms 'drag chain' and 'energy supply chain'. The energy chain is a product that safely transports cables along a certain distance. They are primarily used for machines where the guided cables and hoses can be moved a certain distance without being damaged to such an extent that a machine shutdown is brought about. The energy chain is a safe way of moving energy and data cables or media hoses over this distance.
There are different types and versions of energy chains to meet different requirements. For example, there are completely enclosed versions that withstand external influences such as dirt or swarf and still guarantee the function of the machine. Variants specifically designed for several directions of movement, such as on robots, are also common, as are special materials that prevent electrostatic charging.
Our energy chains can be adapted to individual requirements and can therefore be used for a large number of different applications.
"For economic and technical reasons we have chosen to use exclusively standard products from igus. In this way, the necessary changes can be simply made when systems are expanded, for example."
A finished engine every 14 seconds. This only works with a great degree of automation. Our smart plastics help to make it possible to monitor the plant in Austria.
Here, two robots were equipped with a wide range of guided cables and hoses involving a complex geometric design. The dust generated here can be extracted directly.
As long as six football pitches: here, the world's longest chain from igus has already been in use for ten years. With a PPDS early warning system for any faults that may occur.
Here you will find an overview of further successful customer applications.
Fail-safe cables for energy chains
Every year, 3,000 e-chain tests are performed in order to ensure that they can withstand the hardest of conditions.
