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 new Chainflex PVC outer sheath/control and power cables CF150.UL and CF160.UL are approved under the "UL LISTED standard," allowing them to be directly installed in cable trays or raceways immediately after the cable carrier. This eliminates the need for components for connections or different types of cables for the tray area, making it an MTW (Machine Tool Wiring) cable. It has been tested in igus's proven robot cable testing facilities, allowing for the calculation of service life based on usage conditions, and comes with a warranty for free replacement for up to 36 months. Available in CF150.UL (unshielded) and CF160.UL (shielded).

Igus cables can be selected based on the required performance according to the usage environment and conditions, with seven types of outer sheaths made of PVC, PUR, and TPE, as well as options with or without shielding, allowing you to choose the most cost-effective product that meets your necessary functions. "If there are too many options and I don't know which is best..." "I can't find a cable that fits my usage conditions..." "I'm having trouble with disconnections in other cables." In such cases, please feel free to [contact us]. A representative will get back to you shortly. Igus has a help desk that provides detailed answers to technical questions and assists in selecting the optimal products.

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.

Igus's shielded robot cables/twisted pair cables "Chainflex" are ideal for locations where large amounts of data need to be safely transferred while in motion.
