Cable reel system provides power and data in all directions

e-chain specialist igus has developed the e-spool as an alternative to cable reels and zigzag systems for assembly system designers.

e-spool allows different media types to run together with no breaks at all through the system. Typical applications include stage and theatre and cranes. In one particular customer application, the e-spool is successfully used to manage power and data cables in all directions on an automated rack feeder system. Readers can view a short video of the e-spool in this application, on the company's website.
