Intelligent drag chains and smart cables
Identify problems before they become failures
igus® drag chains and high-flex cables are unified under the smart condition monitoring sensors from i.Sense. With the use of sensors, the signs of impending downtime can often be seen long before the actual failure. With different versions you can detect a breakage of a single e-chain® link, the environmental conditions, the wear in the pin bore of a link or the wear outside the link in case of sliding applications. These sensor systems not only help to react to machine failures at an early stage, but also make it possible to extend the service life of your machines.
