Modular automatic medication picking systems are used for the fast storage and retrieval of medicines in chemists, hospitals or care homes and can be adapted to almost all spatial conditions on site. They have to be both compact and modular to allow for an extension and safe supply without problems.
readychain systems can be ideally adapted to circumstances and spatial conditions.
The offshore bases Mongstad is one of the most frequented bases in Norway. Twice a day, the ships enter and leave to be loaded with equipment for the offshore platforms in the North Sea. The basis operates around the clock.
Therefore, a reliable, robust and flexible system for supplying shore power from igus is used. A harnessed e-spool is integrated in a three metre long container that can be handled by forklifts to position the system along the various berths.
In its robotic machining centres, Taiwanese tool manufacturer Hartford uses fully-assembled energy chain systems from igus®.
This cuts out many process steps for the manufacturer, reducing assembly time from several weeks to just half a day. With readychain® from igus®, customers can at the same time depend on receiving a reliable solution from a single source.
There are many good and different reasons to choose pre-harnessed energy chain supply systems when producing machines and equipment.
Manufacturing costs decrease, sources of errors are practically excluded. The project effort is reduced, reliability increased. Application areas are in assembly and handling technology, in material handling and bearing technology or in mechanical engineering.
igus® readychain® systems are e-chain® systems supplied complete with cables, hoses, connectors and even custom metal work. This allows them to be fitted quickly and easily to your machine, saving time and money.
• ready to install: all readychain® systems are assembled at one of the worldwide igus® factories
• lifetime guarantee: all readychain® components undergo extensive checks through quality and functional tests
• reduce the number of your suppliers by up to 75%: lower project planning expenditure and increase efficiency
• flexible production plans: state of the art technology to ensure optimised production
• safeguarded and short delivery times: our experienced and consistent team guarantees customer satisfaction for high quality at low costs
Every cable harness in our readychains® are 100% tested before leaving our factory. This covers continuity and HIPOT tests, removing risk and giving you confidence in your assembly.
Energy chains from igus® are already being reliably used in hundreds of thousands of applications all over the world. From beverage machines up to steelworks, from linear applications up to the most complicated task - igus® offers thousands of installation options.
With more than 1,300 chainflex cables from stock, igus® offers the largest range of cables specifically for the energy chain. Thanks to the industry's largest test laboratory, igus is the only supplier in the market able to offer a 36-month guarantee on all its chainflex® cables.
All common plug-in connections and more than 4,600 harnessed cables matching 24 manufacturer standards are available.
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.
