e-spool for stage and theatre use - design study

e-spool

Certified for stage and event technology according to DIN EN 17206 and DGUV principle 315-390

Safely guide many different cables in a confined space with e-spool. e-spool uniquely combines two different energy supply systems: one standard energy chain is guided by a roller, providing the correct length and tension of the energy supply system through an integrated spring. In the home position, the energy chain is completely rolled up to save space. The twisterband connects the roller with the shaft end block, serving as an interface to the supply side cables.

Cost down

Cost down

  • No slip ring, low maintenance
  • Can be adapted to technological developments by means of simple replacement of the cables used.
  • Predictive maintenance - optional with the i.Sense add-on module
Proof

Proof

  • Fulfils the requirements of DIN EN17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390
Sustainability

Sustainability

  • No additional copper components in the system (besides copper in the cables)
  • Uses less resource due to long service life
  • Have your energy chain recycled at the end of its life cycle with the igus chainge recycling program. No matter what manufacturer.
    You will receive a voucher.
  • igus has been an investor in Mura Technology from the beginning, and is helping advance chemical recycling. From plastic waste to crude oil in 20 minutes.

3Mechanical spring force monitoring
4Redundant spring unit
5Positive-locking power transmission with stronger aluminium shaft
e-spool with smart sensor monitors

Reliable energy supply thanks to intelligent sensor monitoring systems

The e-spool now comes with various sensor monitoring: the spring force of the three springs included is monitored with the help of a load cell sensor. If the force falls below the specified value, the user is prompted to replace the spring. When the​ specified value is exceeded, there is a blockage that must be removed.

The rotation sensor monitoring, which counts the drum rotations and determines the position of the chain and more.
