Energy chains for horizontal energy supply

Guide cables horizontally and save costs

When media, energy and data have to be moved horizontally over long travels, the energy supply system has to comply with some exacting requirements.  Especially for long travel applications on machine tools when the e-chain has to glide on a surface, chips and dirt are a problem.  In outdoor installations, it is the weather or the large amount of dirt that the horizontal energy supply systems have to withstand. In the case of especially small installation spaces, a compact type of construction is called for. With its solutions for horizontal energy supply, igus can provide a solution that satisfies every possible requirement.
