chainflex® - application examples
chainflex® works. or your money back.
For the customer, the production must go on without problems and an energy supply system should accordingly function smoothly. That presupposes the effortless performance of all components and the cables used in them. igus® was the first company to develop a complete e-chain system®. chainflex® cables and e-chain® are supplied from one source and - according to application - offered with a system guarantee. The design principles that help to prevent machine downtimes all over the world have emerged and still develop from the know-how in cables that grew since 1989 and from a series of very laborious experiments.

Control cables for extremely small bend radii in the passenger compartment doors in public transport vehicles.
Stacking unit
300,000 double strokes a month impose rigorous requirements on the control cable.
Composting plant
Heat, abrasive dirt, high atmospheric moisture: These are only some of the ambient conditions in a composting plant.
Furniture factory
Cables with high bending strength increase machine availability in the furniture industry.
Roof structure
Thanks to the construction with e-chains® in the thermal spas in Bad Wörishofen, about 100 meters of cable could be saved and the weight of the roof was reduced.
Wood industry
The igus® preassembled energy chains create a lasting, low-wear connection to the tools.
Machining center
Top condition even after 9 years - Preassembled energy supply systems for precision machines working under tough environmental conditions
Fairground rides
The demands on the facility are very high. All parts of the elevator are permanently exposed to wind and weather, and additional centrifugal forces act upon the parts by the 180° rotation.
Cold storage rooms
Tests showed that the Micro flizz® can also be operated in tough test conditions in the cold chamber at -40°C and today it is standard equipment of the new generation high speed lifting doors.
Streetcar switches
The applied material repels chips with temperatures up to 850° C without leaving a trace.
Loading and unloading facility
Rigorous requirements imposed on the energy supply: Cycle times and narrow bend radii are a considerable strain on energy supply and lines.
Wood and sandwich processing
Here an energy supply system was developed from standard parts, whose piggyback system at last allocates a
defined place for the large volume suction hoses.
Machine tool manufacture
From special design to standard model - Preassembled energy supply systems reduce the costs in machine tool making in the long term.

Unlike in former times, the Homag-Sawtech AG has virtually no more complaints.
Crane system
In the crane system, the requirements on the operating safety are especially high due to the long travels. Expensive shut downs and downtimes must be avoided in any case.
Special machine construction
For this milling machine only energy chains were considered that could satisfy the complex requirements occasioned by the high feed rates and the bend radii.
Máquinas de corte a laser
Because of the high demands on dynamics, the energy chain had to be stable, strong and not too heavy. The chain experiences very high lateral acceleration particularly on the Y-axis.
Crane system
In crane construction, energy supply systems frequently prove their technical and economic strengths. Flexibility, variability and a space-saving installation are only some of the most important criteria.
Special machine construction
Preassembled energy supply systems come into operation here. They provide the edge to cut down the cost of the process.
Wood processing
machine
There is little space available and the cables are strongly stressed due to the complex movements.
