Energy chain system slashes assembly costs by 80%
A new modular energy chain delivery system has been introduced by igus, which it claims reduces small machine assembly costs by up to 80%.
With a frame thickness of only 40mm, the igus readychain light is half the size of its predecessor, making it ideal for smaller applications.
Thanks to the modular system of telescopic supports and braces, the unit can be pre-assembled into an igus energy chain harness, and delivered and fitted to the machine within days.
According to igus, this enables machine and plant engineers to reduce their process costs by up to 80% in the prototype phase, and up to 50% over the complete assembly process.
Modifications to the rack can be carried out at any time – without any welding or re-painting work being required. The system can also be dismantled and re-assembled quickly and easily.
