igus UKs' Justin Leonard;
“The robust plastic chains are completely resistant to harsh chemicals, hot flying debris, dirt and dust. They withstand high loads, fast accelerations and speeds, and long travels – typical conditions for modern factory automation equipment.”
GÜDEL also uses the modular E4/4 E-Chain cable carriers from igus, which have easily-removable crossbars so that cables and hoses can be replaced quickly. The E4 system cable carriers are also suited to a wide range of demanding applications.
GÜDEL mechanical design engineer, Livia DuRussel;
“E-Chain from igus is the only cable management system we use. The igus E-Chain is featured in our catalogue as the exclusive cable carrier used in all our designs.”
