Closed energy tubes were first used in tooling machines. Accordingly, they have had a decisive influence on the development of various igus energy tube families over the past 25 years. With the new R4.1-L product family, igus has developed a solution which scores on the basis of its special air-tightness despite outstanding stability/weight ratio. In combination with the low weight and favourable price, the R4.1-L family is moving in a direction that is also described by the Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken, VDW (Association of German Toolmaking Factories): Users of toolmaking machines all over the world face the challenge of having to organise their production under enormous cost pressure and high efficiency requirements.

The energy chain system “P4” which has been around for about one and a half years now, is available in two new sizes: “P4.32” and “P4.42”. “P4.42” (42 mm inner height) in a “heavy-duty design” is made for demanding crane applications: high speeds up to 10 m/s, long travels up to 800 m, high filling weights up to 10 kg/m. In contrast the “P4.32” (32 mm inner height) has been developed in a new design – lighter and slimmer – for high dynamic also when the installation space is limited. Upper run and lower run are rolling offset on each other. Though the plastic profile rolls are not over rolled, they roll on a generally wide surface which increases the lifetime of the chain even more. Apart from that the division of the chain link is equal with and without roll, so that the energy chain runs especially silent and vibration-free in the radius. The rolls themselves are fixed in the chains side parts. Cable-protecting “auto-glide” links made of tribologically optimized plastic and a special through systems finally make the energy chain run safe.

New reports by the IPA Fraunhofer Institute awarded a number of energy chains and cables from igus GmbH, Cologne, with the best possible certification, namely ISO Class 1.
