Adapter for easy connection of the energy chain

igus cable chain and connection module with connectors, awarded the German Design Award 2021.

Standard version: black (other colours available on request)

Module Connect adapter - saves installation time.
The new Module Connect adapter is specially designed to make the interface concept, Module Connect and to connect the energy chain with its cables even more easily. The pre-assembled e-chain® is a coherent system and can be installed directly.

The e-chain® and the Module Connect are standardised. Depending on the chain series, chain width and number of Module Connect connectors, a customised chain adapter is produced using 3D printing. (The possibility of a plastic injection-moulded part can also be tested.) The adapter is simply attached to the Module Connect and can then be attached to the chain using a snap-in mechanism.

This means that the entire assembly of a readychain® standard, including Module Connect, is a coherent system, i.e. the connector assignment and cable lengths are clearly defined.

Sustainability

  • Existing igus energy supply systems can be supplemented
  • Adapters from the 3D printing process are suitable for chain width and chain height

Fast assembly

For this purpose, we have developed the Module Connect adapter.

Wherever fast reaction times are required, e.g in the event of a fault, the Module Connect adapter ensures a fast connection of the energy supply system and avoids long downtimes.
 
For example, in an automatic parking system, the customer leaves his car for parking. The car is weighed and measured by the system and automatically moved into a suitable parking position.
If there is a downtime due to a cable break in the e-chain or a leakage in the pneumatic hose, for example, every service technician should be able to disconnect the defective energy chain and connect a new, harnessed energy chain. With the adapter, this is possible quickly and easily - without the need for basic electronic knowledge.  
 
Module Connect adapters are not only used in automatic parking systems and ensure fast maintenance but also in production or pharmacy systems and wherever energy supply systems need to be plugged in.
