E2 & E4: Chip-repellent up to 1,562° F

igus® energy tubes have been employed in the chip sector for almost 20 years Some applications - depending on number, size and temperature of the chips - leave behind scorch and melt marks. The new igus® material igumid HT has put an end to it. Now new potentials open up for the replacement of unmanageable metal energy supply systems.

Delivery program: All E2 and E4 energy tubes from the standard program as special design

Sectors: Machine tools, casting plants, steel works

igumid® HT in the test

Test: 20 g of hot swarf (200 to 850 °C) applied to various materials. The graph shows the amount of swarf burnt in. Test winner: igumid® HT up to 850 °C.
