For years the igus® motto has been "plastics for longer life®". By this we mean the production of innovative plastic products which reduce maintenance work, achieve technical improvements, at the same time as reducing costs and increasing service life, everything delivered immediately from stock.
"We had continuous problems with the original solution, a grooved hose. Since its conversion the painting robot has run completely free of errors."
"Only 24 hours passed between ordering, delivery and installation. And since its installation, the system has functioned without any problems at all!"
"Though they have been in operation for over two years, they haven't shown any sign of wear at all so far."
Due to the heavy weight of the metal chain, the prevailing dust load as well contamination with lubricants and oils, it was decided to replace the metal chain with a plastic energy chain.
The e-chain systems® today clearly contribute toward reliability, as system downtimes, for example through cable breaks, are reduced to zero.

In order to find the suitable e-chain® for the application, specifications can be made here by which the ideal product is found. From the required width, height, bending radius, filling weight, up to clean room suitability and other features, the result can be very much limited. The properties of individual chains can then be compared.
