igus offers Energy Chain cable carriers and Chainflex continuous-flex cables for extrememly tight
space restrictions

Small bending radii and compact dimensions are ideal for packaging applications

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – October 26, 2006 – Igus® Inc. offers Energy Chain® cable carriers and Chainflex® continuous-flex cables designed for extremely tight space restrictions. These compact versions of the company’s comprehensive line of automated machinery components are ideal for packaging applications.

Igus delivers Energy Chains in all shapes and sizes. The E2 micro series of Energy Chains is lightweight, quiet and low cost. This cable carrier is available with an inner height as low as .20 inches and it is available as a zipper chain for fast, easy access to cables and hoses. Zipper chains have interconnected lids that are pulled back like a zipper, removing the top section of the carrier.

Chainflex CF98 continuous-flex cable has a recommended bend radius of four times the outer diameter, the smallest of any Chainflex cable to date. Chainflex CF98 is equipped with unique alloy conductors which have higher tensile strength than standard copper. Igus Chainflex continuous-flex cables are designed specifically for use in Energy Chain Systems® and withstand the stress of tight bending radii to deliver longer extended life at a lower cost. Igus offers an extensive line of cables, in more than 700 sizes and styles. The combination of CF98 with the igus Energy Chain® E2 micro series creates a complete Energy Chain System that can squeeze into any packaging application.

Igus Inc., founded in 1985 and based in East Providence, R.I., develops and manufactures industry-leading plastic cable carriers, continuous-flex cables, plastic bearings and linear guide systems. With more than 28,000 products available from stock, the company meets the motion control and machinery component needs of customers worldwide. Product lines include Energy Chain Systems to protect and house moving cables, Chainflex continuous-flex cables, iglide® self-lubricating, oil-free, plastic bearings, DryLin® linear guide systems and igubal® spherical bearings.
