Reducing costs while guaranteeing the highest possible process reliability: only those who invest considerable resources in testing and research, such as igus®, can successfully address these competing requirements. In the industry's largest test laboratory, more than 10 million test cycles are carried out every year at 180 testing stations with e-chains® and chainflex® cables.
Our mechanical engineering components pass the "litmus test" presented by production reality, because they have already passed this test before they ever leave the igus® warehouse.
4,100 energy chain system tests annually at 180 test stations: climate chamber, outdoor tests, noise chamber, travel lengths up to 130m, robot systems etc.
Interior separation in e-chains®: Cable wear virtually halved under the toughest conditions.
How does the unsupported length of the igus® e-chains® Series E2.15 and 08 differ under load?
e-chain comparison test: E.4.42, E4.48L and 3500
e-chain® series E6.1 is extremely quiet
igus® plastic e-tube R4.38L vs. competitor's closed energy chain made of metal
74% stronger cross bars with igus® locks
Lighter energy chain with less sag
Noise testing on P4 profile roller e-chain®
Offshore energy chain for use on the seabed
Ranging from metal chips to wood dust and fluids: we have the right solution for your energy supply system.
CF5.10.25 cable de control resiste 42 millones de carreras con un radio de flexión de 100 mm.
Pruebas y test para salas blancas: prueba preliminar de "sala blanca" en el propio laboratorio de igus®
Absorption of maximum bending torque on rigid mounting brackets, so that these function reliably even when exposed to lateral acceleration.
Series P4 - endurance runner for long travels at high speeds.
The standard test machines are not strong enough to break the E4.350.
Tensile testing with energy chains in oil
igus® E4.48L and a competitor's product are tested with regard to unsupported length as well as tensile strength and resistance to breakage.
chainflex® cables show no wear even after 222,776 cycles
The requirements regarding the permissible volume of noise produced by moving products in the stage area are very high.
In the igus® test lab, thorough examination is performed not only for the e-chain® components. iglidur® plain bearings, chainflex® cables, drylin® linear plain bearings and axes, lead screw systems and robolink® components are tested thoroughly as well.
