igus energy chains are widely used in machinery where they are fast replacing traditional festoon and cable reel systems due to their low-maintenance characteristics and ability to handle multiple energy types (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, fibre optic and even auxiliary components such as hoses) all in one neat, flexible solution.
The advanced polymer materials used means the e-chains simply act as a moving conduit or a sort of spine that keeps the cable neat and always protected and is so tough it will probably outlast the equipment.
