October 7, 2024
Find the right e-chain cable with just one entry, including service life guarantee
The motion plastics specialist igus has released the latest version of its readycable finder, an online tool that makes it much easier to select the suitable drive cable. Users can find the right cable with the appropriate quality at the most favourable price with just one entry. The integrated chainflex service life calculator also reliably predicts how long the cable will last.
Customers looking for a cable for their motors are spoilt for choice at igus. The motion plastics specialist offers a range of over 6,000 drive cables suitable for 38 manufacturer standards. The brand-new readycable finder helps customers select the right cable. With its modern, user-friendly design the online tool only requires the part number of the motor manufacturer’s cable and converts it directly into the appropriate readycable product. Customers can choose from up to seven different cable qualities, which are designed for special requirements in the energy chain. These include different jacket materials and particular specifications, which can vary depending on the operating conditions. The price, the cost savings when changing the chainflex cable quality and the delivery time of the cable are also displayed in real time, which allows customers to place an order quickly in the online shop. The service life of the cable can be calculated using the integrated chainflex service life calculator. “Our new readycable finder was developed to make it as quick and easy as possible for our customers and the igus sales representatives to select the optimum cable while keeping an eye on costs,” says Markus Hüffel, Product Manager readycable & readychain at igus®. “Thanks to the optimised user interface and easy handling, our customers receive all important information, from product specifications to readiness for shipping, in the shortest possible time.”
New chainflex service life calculator for SPS 2024
With its online tool, igus focusses on customer service, efficiency and sustainability. In time with SPS 2024 in Nuremberg, igus is also presenting the refined chainflex service life calculator 2.0. The online tool helps customers determine the service life of their selected cable using real test data from the company’s own 4,000m2 test laboratory and AI-based calculations. After entering parameters such as travel, speed, acceleration and maximum bend radius, the tool immediately provides an exact calculation of the cable’s durability. Users can also download a guarantee certificate directly. This is designed precisely for their application parameters with calculated cycle numbers. “The new service life calculator combines economy and ecology by enabling our customers to find the ideal cable for their application – both in terms of costs and sustainability,” explains Rainer Rössel, Head of the chainflex Cable Business Unit at igus.
