Online program simplifies cable carrier configuration
- January 13, 2010
- Product Release
- Shop Management
igus® Inc. has announced the launch of a new E-Chain® Configurator program that enables users to custom build a cable carrier with cables and internal separators online quickly. The user then can generate CAD files and a parts list, or submit a quote request directly to igus.
The program is designed to fill the company's E-Chain cable carriers, which were developed to guide and protect moving cables on automated machinery. Interior separators, shelves, cables, and hoses can be virtually installed in a few clicks. A complete Energy Chain System® can be configured in just minutes.
Users simply choose the desired type, inner width, bending radius, and length of the cable carrier. On the second screen, side plates, separators, and spacers can be dragged and dropped into the interactive chain link. The bending radius, length, and quantity of cables and hoses also can be entered, before being pulled into the cross section with the cursor.
The cable carrier configurator is designed to be as simple as possible. An integrated control device does not allow component parts to be dragged into the chain link anywhere they will not work. This eliminates the potential for error. The company's technical team also is always on hand to work on later optimizations to the generated configuration, if required.
The E-Chain Configurator is available online at www.igus.com/configurator.asp.
