Our essence is motion, so if your machine has moving parts igus® can promise a number of things. The product we offer will be: self-lubricating, maintenance-free, cost-effective, predictable, resistant to dirt, dust, chemicals and heat (to name a few), and will improve the lifetime of your machine too.
The igus® chainflex® cables are ideal solutions for high speed, high flex tasks – they are able to withstand harsh conditions and severe demands from different application environments. Examples of such requirements include: large cycle numbers, high accelerations, long distances and extreme hot and cold environments.
To solve stocking and delivery issues, we began to supply our readychains and readycables under consignment agreements because this ensures both the consignee and the consignor benefit from fast turnaround times. Strong customer service can be maintained which in turn keeps customers happy and informed.
igus ® chainflex ® cables can be found in an endless amount of industries and applications due to the number of environments igus caters for. Mainly, but not entirely, igus cables are used in energy chains and can be found in several e chain industries as well. How can chainflex ® work for you?
All our chainflex® cables undergo rigorous testing to ensure the maximum service life of igus® cables, because of this we can supply our unique 36-month-guarantee. Here we will go through 8 of our cable tests.
Our journey with a cable begins with the most basic component, copper. Copper starts out as raw material and is pulled into smaller strands called litz wires. The number of litz wires required for a cross section depends on the size of the litz wire, a thinner wire will require more strands than a thicker wire to make the same cross section size.
We are pleased to officially announce the opening of our automated assembly line for readycable at our UK facility in Northampton. Representing another significant investment for igus, the new line uses fully-automated machines and lean manufacturing methods to streamline its manufacturing process to deliver fully-harnessed drive cables shipped within 24 hours of order placement.
