Cables in energy chains or connected to robots need special properties if they are to function reliably over a long period of time in spite of large cycle numbers, high speeds and accelerations and challenging ambient conditions. The igus® chainflex® product range includes everything from control cables, servo cables, motor cables and robot cables to bus cables, data cables, encoder cables and fibre optic cables.

Harnessed energy chain systems and chainflex® special cables ensure the operational reliability of this pick and place machines. 400 million strokes are required, which corresponds to around seven years of continuous operation.
chainflex® measuring system cables in these large machining centres ensure long-term faultless operation.
Metal-free fibre optic cables from igus® are deployed in automated medicine storage facilities because they carry volumes of data quickly and error-free for years on end.
These ship unloaders each with a travel of 441m provide for a reduction in tensile forces by around 75%.
