Alongside the new developments in spring rod modules, there are also new special protective jackets now available. They protect the energy chain from liquid metal splashes or other materials. These are important in hot conditions such as in foundries, or for paint or sealing applications. The protective jackets are pulled over the energy chain and held by a Velcro fastener or elastic, thus ensuring the chain's long service life.
Energy supply on the seventh axis
igus have developed the energy chain E4.1 for safe energy supply on the seventh axis. It allows high flexibility and robustness in all applications. Assembly times can be reduced by up to 80 percent thanks to improved opening and separating bridges. A quick-locking feature ensures little force is needed for opening and closing, even for very fully loaded chains. Special design, including the “tongue and groove” link joint improves the self-supporting length by more than 20 percent. The tongue and groove” joint ensures very high rigidity even with strong lateral forces.
