New e-tube for machine tools

igus has developed a new tough, cost-effective energy tube called the R2.75 E2. The fully enclosed design of the e-tube, with an inner height of 75mm, ensures that no external debris can get inside to damage the cables and hoses. This makes it perfect for the machine tool, woodworking and textile industries, as well as general mechanical engineering applications. The e-tube lids, have an innovative hinge system, enabling them to be opened from either side.  This allows for faster filling of cables and hoses as well as easier access in service. Additionally, the double stop dog system makes for a strong tube which can carry high fill weights.
