Unrolling harnessed e-chains

Long travel lengths of harnessed energy chains – used to protect the cables in automatic assembly systems – are usually delivered on big drums, which can take several people to unroll. To help ease this task, igus has developed the flexible, affordable and reusable rolling rack.

In a recently released online video, Till Brinkman, product manager for readychain and readycable products, explains how the rolling rack can save manufacturers both time and money.

Based on the readychain rack, the rack is simple to use, enabling one person to easily unroll up to 100 metres of cables. The racks can be moved around easily using a fork lift truck, and are also available on transport rollers for extra ease of movement and positioning.
