EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – October 21, 2004 – igus® Inc., a leading developer of cable carrier and continuous-flex cables, offers Energy Chain® SnapChain, cable carriers with adjustable loops, to easily bundle cables together. Igus SnapChain is available as part of the System E2 Energy Chain line of cable carriers.
Unlike traditional Energy Chains which are made of side links and crossbars, the igus SnapChain is constructed of a side link and adjustable loop. It’s available in two sizes, flexible in two directions, and the length of the loop can be adjusted at any time. Igus SnapChain is an ideal alternative to expensive cable clips and can be opened from the outer or inner radius, depending on customer preference. Applications such as computer cabinets, office furniture, electrical appliances, control box construction and enclosures—anywhere cables are moving in a linear motion—will benefit from SnapChain. Igus Energy Chains, house, protect and extend the service life of cables installed on automated, mobile machinery.
Igus Chainflex® cables are designed for continuous-flexing applications and installation into an Energy Chain System®. Igus also offers complete preassembled, harnessed cable carriers, called ReadyChain. Please call for details.
