For the production of machines and equipment, there are many good reasons to decide in favour of pre-harnessed energy supply systems:
The new Module Connect adapter is specially designed to make the connection of the interface concept, Module Connect, and the energy chain with the cables inside it even easier.
▲Tech up:
configure interface by combining individual housings and fastening without additional sheet metal parts.
▼Cost down:
save 80% installation time and simply unplug it, plug it back in, done.
The pre-assembly of systems on this scale for heavy-duty applications is anything but trivial. igus offers everything from a single source: as a harnessed complete system, a readychain system which is tailored to your own plant.
▲Tech up:the e-chains in use are tough and corrosion-resistant and hence ideally suited for rough environments.
▼Cost down:save 68% assembly time and 89% procurement time.

Modular automatic medication picking systems are used for the fast storage and retrieval of medicines in chemists, hospitals or care homes and can be adapted to almost all spatial conditions on site. They have to be both compact and modular to allow for an extension and safe supply without problems.
readychain systems can be ideally adapted to circumstances and spatial conditions.
The Mongstad offshore base is one of the most frequently used bases in Norway. The ships change twice a day in order to be loaded with equipment for the offshore platforms in the North Sea. The base operates around the clock.
Therefore, a reliable, robust and flexible system for supplying shore power from igus is used. A harnessed e-spool is integrated in a three-metre long container that can be handled by forklifts to position the system along the various berths.
In its robotic machining centres, Taiwanese tool manufacturer Hartford uses fully harnessed energy chain systems from igus.
This cuts out many process steps for the manufacturer, reducing assembly time from several weeks to just half a day. At the same time, customers can always depend on receiving a safe and reliable solution from a single source when they order readychains from igus.
There are many good and different reasons to choose pre-harnessed energy chain supply systems when producing machines and equipment.
Manufacturing costs decrease, sources of errors are practically excluded. The project effort is reduced, reliability increased. Application areas are in assembly and handling technology, in material handling and bearing technology or in mechanical engineering.
igus takes on responsibility for the entire procurement logistics - from procurement of the necessary special parts, metal sheets or machine parts to provision of the ready-to-install system on the scheduled date.
chainflex cables and plug connections
With more than 1,300 cables from stock, igus offers the largest range of cables specifically for the energy chain. Thanks to the industry's largest test laboratory, igus is the only supplier in the market able to offer a 36-month guarantee on all its chainflex cables. All commercially available plug-in connections, as well as more than 4,600
No company has to deal with installing energy chains and cables for their machines any more. With our readychain system, we provide individual, harnessed energy supply systems, which can be easily installed on site.
From more than 15,000 tests performed per year, we have created what is probably the world's largest test database. This database gives us the ability to always select the right product for your specific application. Individual tests for your industry are also possible.
Offering around 4,600 harnessed motor, servo, signal and encoder cables, igus is the world's No. 1 when it comes to harnessed cables for use in energy chains.
High-performance plug-in connectors, signal plug-in connectors and several thousands of connector components – that way, igus provides a high level of availability with short delivery times.
We know what applications need and customers want. We know our products and their properties exactly. And we show you how you can profit from them to improve the performance of your technical equipment and reduce costs.
