igus® E-ChainSystem® offers a number of advantages for the design:

• Electric, hydraulic and pneumatic energy, as well as digital signals - electric or with light - liquid media can be supplied in parallel 
• Space-saving installation 
• Low-noise operation 
• High accelerations can be fielded 
• Robust in wind, weathering, dirt accumulation and chemicals 
• Simple installation of the modular system on site 
• Quick installation and retrofit of cables

Chainflex® lasts or 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 inserted in them. igus® was the first company to develop complete E-ChainSystem®. Chainflex® cables and E-Chain® are supplied from one source and - according to application - offered with a system guarantee. The design principles that today prevent machine downtimes in factories all over the world have originated and emerge from the know-how and elaborate series of research that have steadily grown since 1989.
