Data transmission in a crane system

The importance of protecting cables has never been so pertinent as it is when cables are battling with the elements , elevated hundreds of feet in the air. igus® offers e-chain® systems that not only protect the cables but can inform you of defects.

The ins and outs of chainflex®

chainflex® are cables that are specifically designed for dynamic motion. So, whether these are continuous flex applications, or working within e-chain® systems – drag chain or power track, whatever you wish to call them – it is all about that continuous motion. igus® does not supply cables for static applications at all; you are more than welcome to use our cables for that, however, what we produce is for motion. Our key phrase is: long-lasting life in continuous flex applications.

How many types of cables are available in the igus® cable range?

igus® cables are supplied in a range of types, lengths, qualities and even fully harnessed. Our chainflex® cables are specially designed for continuous flex over long periods of time and in diverse environments. These can be supplied as raw cable or as readycables® – connectorised cables that are ready to install into energy chains.

Top 10 benefits of flexible cables

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.

What is consignment stock and who needs it?

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.

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.
