Ready-to-install energy supply systems directly from the manufacturer


Reasons for a ready-to-install energy chain

For the production of machines and equipment, there are many good reasons to decide in favour of ready-to-install energy chains:

  • Harnessing time is reduced by up to 95%
  • Reduction in manufacturing costs
  • Minimal amount of logistics work - no storage space necessary
  • Procurement optimisation - one system, one part number
  • Reduced assembly time - less machine downtime
  • Installation on the spot - international service with 35 subsidiaries
  • Special designs are possible - igus is developing further components

Plug-in e-chain®

Make your energy chain ready to plug & play

One connector instead of many: there are almost infinite combinations for our plug-in e-chain family, which can be customised up to 100% to the customer application. For this purpose, it offers plug-in safety and saves up to 80% assembly time. In case of servicing, this means: unplug, plug in, get started. There is no easier way.

Application examples with readychain®

Where the automation of machines and industrial plant is concerned, there is a whole series of different reasons to decide in favour of pre-assembled energy supply systems. Manufacturing costs decrease, sources of errors are practically excluded. Less project planning work is needed whereas reliability increases. Possible areas of use are in assembly/installation engineering and handling technology, in conveyor technology or in mechanical engineering.
