Quick installation for system assemblers

A recent video from igus demonstrates how easy it is to open and close its popular cable handling system. Zipper e-chain and e-tube energy chains feature a zip fastening function which is deployed in both sophisticated and industrial applications, including robotics and machine building, the zipper cuts installation time significantly and requires no specialist tools.

The small pitch of the zipper e-chain ensures low-noise operation, even at accelerations of 100 m/sec2 and more. The zipper e-tube is fully-enclosed to ensure protection against chip and dirt damage and can be opened and closed in the same, fast manner.

The modular design of the zipper lid allows the energy chains to be lengthened and shortened to customer requirements. As with all igus e-chains, interior separation is possible.

Winner of the iF Design Award, the zipper e-chain and e-tube from are certified for use in clean room environments, and are available with UL94-VO classification upon request. Readers can see how quick and simple the zipper function is to use by watching this short video.
