Energy chains are the most modular way of safely transferring energy, data, fluids and air. Whether horizontally, vertically along all axes or in a circle. igus energy chains fulfil this requirement completely. Various systems for rotary and spiral movements can be selected, and properties such as modularity and versatility and a high degree of stability ensure dependability.
Typical industries and applications: handling machines, robots & packaging machines
As our energy chain systems do not have slip rings, media such as air, oil or water can easily be transferred without any interruption.
The compact e-spools for two and four metre pullout are space-saving systems with small linear chains and twisterbands for a wide variety of applications where space is limited. As in the case of the larger standard and heavy-duty systems, the compact e-spool system enables problem-free transfer and flexible filling.
Components are moved from one press to the next with the help of this industrial robot. Fast 360 degree movements were the challenge for the system. An igus® twisterchain ensures safe and reliable guidance of the cables when circular movements are carried out.
In a woodworking centre, the aim was to use a machine to guide tools in such a way that they followed the contours of the workpiece without problem. Many different movements with rotations around its own axis (total rotation angle of 1440°) are the consequence. The igus twisterchain was completely convincing with regard to cable guidance and weight saving.
Here, you can find an overview of additional successful customer application examples.
