Reduce assembly time by 40 percent with the E4Q energy chain from igus

High unsupported lengths and long travels with large fill weights create extreme stress on energy chains. igus, the motion plastics specialist, has developed the E4Q energy chain series to tackle this. Based on the robust and proven E4.1 energy chain standard, the new range brings a long service life and a high degree of modularity. The key feature is that the crossbars can be opened and closed without any tools at all. This saves the user 40 percent assembly time. In order to optimise the weight of the energy chain, shapes inspired by nature are used. Material has been saved wherever it can be without any loss of strength. E4Q is very quiet in operation due to its design. Optional damping elements ensure even quieter operation. In the video, Andreas Hermey, Head of Development, JörgOttersbach, Business Unit Head, and Lukas Czaja, Machine Tool Specialist, describe the exciting story of the E4Q’s development, demonstrate its special features and show how easy it is to fill the E4Q, with the revolutionary new method of assembling and installing energy chains.
