Assembly tools slash energy chain opening times
Tribo-polymer specialist igus has designed five new specialist tools for opening its energy chains, which it says cuts the manual work time to open a metre length of chain from 33 seconds to just two.
Each of the tools perform a specific task; from opening of E4.216, E6.29 and E61.29 energy chain series; inserting separators, locking separators or shelves to crossbar opening.
The grips and top pieces of the tools can be ordered separately for easy replacement.
