Machine tool applications require a number of different services including electric, oil and pneumatics in order to run. These services run through various cables or hoses that require protection and guidance to avoid damage and subsequent machine failure. This is straightforward when the cables run in a linear motion. Some machines, however, have rotary motions that render typical linear cable carrying systems insufficient

igus has developed a special purpose rotary cable carrying system, known as TwisterBand, which is ideal for use in such applications. TwisterBand allows for rotations of up to 3000˚, +/-1500˚, and can reach speeds of up to 380˚/s. Like all igus E-Chains it is a modular system that is lightweight and easy to install and fill.
