How are chainflex® cables tested?
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.

How are chainflex® cables made?
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.
Automation investment
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.
