Predict the future with the worlds first intellegent cable.
igus® takes the next step towards industry 4.0 by developing the worlds first chainflex® cable that warns the user before it fails. If problems arise, such as the threat of a core breakage, the cable issues a warning while in operation. This enables the user to replace the cable before it has a chance to fail.
A big stride for preventive maintenance and therefore, increased plant availability. The cable will be presented at the 2016 Hannover Messe.
