Our product portfolio includes control cables, motor cables, servo cables, robot cables, bus cables, data cables, measurement system cables and fiber optic cables. Our chainflex cables comply with various global standards and certifications such as UL, CE, DNV, REACH and DESINA. Based on over 30 years of intensive research and development in our 5,500 m² test laboratory, we can offer a guarantee of up to 36 months on our chainflex cables. With the selection of different jacket materials (PVC, PUR, TPE), different bending radii of up to 3 x d and the highest quality in production, we guarantee problem-free use with many double strokes and for long travel distances of up to 400 meters. Even the most extreme environmental conditions over long periods of time are no problem for our cables.

The harnessing of cables and wires according to your individual specifications or industrial standards is one of the core competencies of igus. When assembling cables, the choice of components is also of great importance for the subsequent quality. For this reason, igus uses highly flexible chainflex cables in combination with well-known connector manufacturers such as Harting, Binder, TE Intercontec, Yamaichi and many others. On request, igus also manufactures assembled cables individually (from quantity 1) to meet your specific application requirements.

Since 1971, igus has been developing, producing and testing energy chains made of plastic. The constantly growing know-how flows into the further development of the products in cooperation with our customers. igus e-chains and e-chain systems can be used universally: whether for very high dynamic loads, the most diverse types of movements or in the most diverse environments. They are used reliably in many hundreds of thousands of applications worldwide - from beverage vending machines to steelworks and crane systems. Thanks to the use of friction- and wear-optimized high-performance plastics, they not only offer high stability, but are also particularly light, quiet and low-maintenance.

igus has been operating its own test laboratory since 1985. With over 5,500 m², it is not only the largest in the industry, but also the one with the most product tests and test procedures. Each business unit has its own area, some are also tested together. For example, igus tests its highly flexible chainflex cables in its own energy chains on 1,500 m². iglidur plain bearings, drylin linear bearings and low-cost automation components are tested on approximately 300 m². An outdoor test area, a clean room laboratory developed together with the Fraunhofer IPA, a laboratory for noise tests and a climate chamber with -40 °C complete the test area.

The use of the data from the test procedures does not stop with the development of new products. Since 2001, igus has been developing innovative online tools based on the database of the test laboratory results. More than 40 online tools are currently available on the igus website to find the right products and customize them for your own requirements - including the calculation of the product service life. With these tools, the cost-effectiveness and safety of igus products can be determined easily, quickly and around the clock online. The majority of the digital services are developed by igus itself. For example, the chainflex product finder. Users simply enter the requirements for their cable and the finder suggests suitable solutions. Entire e-chain systems, robot equipment or individual CNC and 3D-printed parts can also be configured online with just a few clicks.

With our manufacturer-neutral RBTX online marketplace, we have launched a one-stop shopping solution that offers automation enthusiasts compatible low-cost robotics components from over 100 leading manufacturers. From cobots, delta and gantry robots to vision systems, grippers, sensors and software. A DIY kit that enables even small and medium-sized companies without robotics knowledge to get started with automation in a barrier-free, low-risk and cost-effective way. More than 600 complete solutions from the field are already available on RBTX as a source of inspiration for immediate implementation, 95% of which have an investment volume of less than 18,000 euros. From the automated chocolate selection device to the agricultural robot that recognizes and destroys weeds.
