June 28, 2009 – igus published a 2009 catalog for its Chainflex continuous-flex cables, which are specifically designed for demanding high-flex applications on all types of automated machinery. The continuous-flex cable book features an easy-to-use quick reference guide, application examples from a wide range of industries and details on the latest Chainflex cables. The new catalog’s reference guide makes it easy to select a continuous-flex cable by highlighting key features, such as jacket types, temperatures limits, price indexes, and maximum bending radii. The catalog also offers information about new Chainflex cables, including CF Robot, a shielded cable for applications involving high levels of torsion, Firewire cables for long distance machine vision applications, and cables specifically designed for USB applications. In addition to its line of continuous-flex cables, igus offers Energy Chain cable carriers to guide and protect moving cables and hoses on automated machinery. Both the company’s cable carriers and Chainflex cables are specially developed to work together to increase cable service life and maximize uptime due to cable failure. About igus igus develops industry-leading Energy Chain cable carriers, Chainflex continuous-flex cables, iglide plastic plain bearings, igubal spherical bearings, DryLin linear bearings and guide systems. These seemingly unrelated products are linked together through a belief in making functionally advanced, yet affordable plastic components and assemblies. With plastic bearing experience since 1964, cable carrier experience since 1971 and continuous-flex cable since 1989, igus provides the right solution based on 70,000 products available from stock. No minimum order required. |
