readychain system with Snap-on connection for cable chain assembly.

Expand your modular interface quickly & flexibly with the snap-on carrier

For even more flexibility in the tightest of spaces

Subsequent extensions or special requests, such as routing liquid media outside but still close to the interface, are often time-consuming and involve a great deal of effort. This in-house development of the Snap-On Carrier can simply be clicked onto an existing igus® Module Connect connection in order to attach additional components such as additional cables or pneumatic hoses to the interface in parallel or at a later date.

This allows you to secure all transfer points clearly in a central area - and all without tools, as the Snap-On Carrier was deliberately designed for tool-free assembly. See for yourself and send your enquiry for a free sample part directly online here.

Proven in practice:

Module Connect ensures fast maintenance in the packaging industry

In case of maintenance, igus has provided a plug-and-play system to enable quick maintenance. Previously, maintenance work took about four hours, which could often only be carried out by two employees. Thanks to the new interface concept, the Module Connect from igus®, changing the energy supply is now reduced to approx. 45 minutes with just one person.

GHD Hartmann is one of the first customers to use the Module Connect connector. End customers of GHD Hartmann easily replace the energy supply with the plug-in connector from the modular system.

Module Connect adapter avoids long downtimes in automatic parking systems

Wherever fast reaction times are required, e.g. in the event of a fault, the Module Connect adapter ensures fast connection of the energy supply system to the machine and avoids long downtimes.

An example is an automatic parking system that weighs and measures the car and then moves it to a suitable parking position.

Applications in energy supply systems

Where the automation of machines and industrial plant is concerned, there is a whole series of different reasons to decide in favour of pre-assembled energy supply systems.

Manufacturing costs decrease, sources of errors are practically excluded. Less project planning work is needed whereas reliability increases. Possible areas of use are in assembly/installation engineering and handling technology, in conveyor technology or in mechanical engineering.

Applications with readychain®

One connector module instead of many individual connectors ...

... Module Connect
Thanks to the simple modular principle, an individual plug-in/disconnection point can be configured as a module from several connector housings. Each housing can be fitted with up to four different connector inserts.

The housings can then be joined together, allowing almost unlimited module variations in individual widths and heights. Thanks to the flat housing type, the Module Connect is very space-saving and enables a high contact density for every application.

... igus® readychain®
There are a number of reasons to opt for pre-assembled energy supply systems in the production of machines and systems:

  • Assembly time reduced by up to 95
  • Reduction in manufacturing costs
  • Minimised logistics costs - no storage space required
  • Procurement optimisation - one system, one part number
  • Reduce assembly time - less machine downtime
  • Assembly on site - international service with 31 locations
  • Customised products possible - igus® develops additional components

MC adapter with the German Design Award Winner 2021 award.

The Module Connect adapter connects the Module Connect connector and the energy chain to form a coherent assembly.

  • Saves up to 80 % assembly time
    Connect to the machine in just a few simple steps
  • Clearly structured interface
    Simple connection of the energy chain even without previous electronic knowledge
  • Sustainable
    Existing igus® cable carrier systems can be easily supplemented - adapter is adapted to different e-chain® series
