The "Triflex R" is a resin cable carrier that guides cables and hoses in movable parts with twisting motion. It is ideal for protecting wiring in multi-axis robots with three-dimensional motion. It supports high-speed operation and generates low dust. A wide variety of types are available according to applications and sizes. - Supports high speed, high acceleration, and high frequency - Suitable for various environments (dust, chemicals, high-temperature chips) - Guides power, data, optical fibers, oil, and air in one system - Available in types from sealed to those that make cable storage easy

The "Energy Chain" is a resin cable protection tube that protects and guides cables and hoses in movable parts of industrial machinery. It is designed for high-speed operation with low dust generation. We offer a wide variety of types based on different applications and sizes. - Supports high speed, high acceleration, and high frequency - Suitable for various environments (dust, chemicals, high-temperature chips) - Accommodates various movements such as vertical use, horizontal use, and twisting use

The "e-spool" is a cable reel-type protective tube that adjusts the tension of the energy chain with an internal spring, guiding cables and hoses without putting a load on them. It constantly optimizes length and tension while protecting and guiding the cables in movable parts. - No tensile load on the cables - Guides power, data, optical fiber, oil, and air in one system - Guides in all directions: horizontal, vertical, and diagonal with one unit - Space-saving, no tangling of chains

"e-skin" is a corrugated tube for movable parts composed of upper and lower components. It is ideal as a cable protection tube for clean rooms with ISO Class 1. It can be opened and closed for easy cable replacement, but it seals tightly when closed. By specifying the bending radius, it prevents wire breakage. - Prevents excessive load on cables - Guides power, data, fiber optics, oil, and air in one system - IPA classification ISO Class 1, abrasion-resistant - Easily opened and closed for convenient cable storage

Smart plastics are a product line that incorporates sensors into igus products, enabling the monitoring of wear conditions and predicting replacement times. They facilitate factory automation and IoT implementation, preventing unexpected machine downtime. There are various products, including monitoring the push-pull force of igus's cable protection system "energy chain," detecting part damage, measuring the tensile force of movable cables "chainflex," and detecting wear in plastic plain bearings "iglidur."

The "Energy Chain" is a resin cable protection tube that protects and guides cables and hoses in movable parts of industrial machinery and other applications. It is designed for high-speed operation with low dust generation. We offer a wide variety of types based on different applications and sizes. - Supports high speed, high acceleration, and high frequency - Suitable for various environments (dust, chemicals, high-temperature cutting chips) - Accommodates various movements such as vertical use, horizontal use, and twisting use

The igus smart plastic "i.Cee" system predicts the optimal replacement timing based on the usage conditions of movable parts such as cable carriers and robotic cables. It achieves IoT and predictive maintenance through sensors embedded in the components. **Lifetime Prediction Calculation System i.Cee** The lifetime prediction calculation system builds a system using sensors and software to calculate the service life while operating the equipment, allowing for the setting of optimal maintenance timing. i.Cee is the next step towards the implementation of a comprehensive smart Industry 4.0 system. Its goal is to maximize the safety of customer equipment and the lifespan of igus products. igus refers to the lifetime prediction calculation system as "i.Cee" (derived from "I see ahead"). If you have questions, want a direct explanation, wish to know how it can be used in actual lines, or would like to see the actual device, please feel free to contact igus. Meetings can be held either in person or online.

The "e-skin flat" is a thin cable protection tube system designed for use in clean rooms. When used in conjunction with igus's CFCLEAN cables, which have no outer sheath, it achieves high reliability. Unlike typical movable flat cable systems where the stranded wires are fixed internally, this system allows for the replacement or addition of stored items, such as cables, in just a few minutes. Therefore, there is no need to replace the entire system when partially exchanging or adding items, enabling efficient operation without waste. It is also suitable for use in display/semiconductor manufacturing and LCD/LED panel production equipment. We can bring samples and provide detailed explanations while you see them in person!

The "CFCLEAN" cable is a specially designed cable with a unique structure that has no outer sheath, developed exclusively for igus's new ultra-thin cable protection tube, "e-skin flat." It is used in combination with e-skin flat to achieve cleanliness compliant with ISO Class 1. It can be utilized in semiconductor devices and other applications that require a highly clean environment. (*Please use CFCLEAN in conjunction with e-skin flat. Other wiring methods are outside the recommended range.) - Due to its thin outer diameter, it can accommodate more cables inside the e-skin flat than usual. - It reduces the number of compartments in the e-skin flat, enabling space-saving and cost reduction. - The outermost layer uses PTFE tape, which has excellent abrasion resistance. We can provide detailed explanations while showing you samples in person! Please download the product PDF from the link below.

The cable carrier "Triflex R" safely protects and guides cables and hoses on Universal Robots, along with clamps to secure them to UR robots. There are also kits available that include a complete set of products for each Universal Robot: UR3(e), UR5(e), UR10(e), and UR16e. - Protects cables and hoses from repetitive motion - Compact and smooth design - Slim and lightweight structure

The Energy Chain E4Q series has been developed for long strokes in free-span operation. It is a new series based on the robust Energy Chain E4.1, which has over 12 years of proven performance, and features a modular design for long service life. The Energy Chain can be opened and closed without the use of tools, reducing assembly effort.

To reliably support and guide the corrugated tube that guides the cables, igus has developed the e-rib. This product supports both ends of the corrugated tube, as well as curved sections and rotational movements. The cable solution for SCARA robots consists of three elements tailored and adjusted for each SCARA robot: a swivel bearing (moving end), a swivel bearing (fixed end), and a corrugated tube with an e-rib. The e-rib stabilizes and defines the movement of the corrugated tube to move in only one direction. With the side guide parts, the corrugated tube can run in free span. By retrofitting the e-rib, existing equipment can be "upgraded" with minimal effort.
