Energy supply systems from a single source- readychain®


Reasons for a harnessed energy chain

For the production of machines and equipment, there are many reasons in favour of pre-harnessed energy supply systems:

  • Harnessing time is reduced by up to 95%
  • Reduction in manufacturing costs
  • Minimal amount of logistics work – no storage space necessary
  • Procurement optimisation - one system, one part number
  • Reduce assembly time – less machine downtime
  • On-site installation - international service with 35 subsidiaries
  • Special designs are possible – igus® is developing further components

Plug in your energy supply with just ONE connector

Module Connect - interface based on the modular principle

Instead of requiring many plug-in/disconnect points in a limited space, the Module Connect can be configured individually as ONE interface. With the modular design, several connector housings are combined to a single module consisting of ONE plug-in/disconnect point.
 
Adjust the connector modules to the filling and geometry of your e-chain® and receive ideal cabling in terms of function and design for every application.
