Profibus application areas PROFIBUS is mainly used in the manufacturing and process industries. However, there are different areas of application here for the PROFIBUS cable. Often, the cables are laid permanently in the machinery and equipment, so that cables with a solid conductor or a flexible conductor consisting of 7 strands can be selected.
For applications in the energy chain, which colloquially is also referred to as a drag chain, it is however necessary to use PROFIBUS cables with fine stranded wires. Moreover, a
cable structure attuned to the movement in the energy chain is necessary to ensure secure data transmission over the years. This is why chainflex cables have become established especially in equipment and machines such as robots, packaging machines, production machines and machine tools.
Cables for PROFIBUS applications from igus igus offers a large number of PROFIBUS cables. A total of 11 different PROFIBUS cable types from 8 different cable ranges are available for different applications. All chainflex cables have been developed for permanent movement in the energy chain. Depending on your requirements, you can choose between different PVC, PUR and TPE
outer jackets. The different bus cable series offer different performance levels, so that the right cable can be chosen for each application area to achieve the longest service life.
All chainflex cables are subject to the same quality standards. It does not matter whether it is a cost-effective cable of the CF888 range or a cable for highest demands and smallest
bend radii as is the case with the CFBUS.LB range. igus GmbH grants a 36 month functional guarantee on all chainflex cables with a service life of up to 10 million double strokes.
