Increased safety for control pendants and assembly areas
To use tools and control pendants flexibly in production, they require appropriately long cables and hoses. However, these are often strewn across the floor unprotected and can create a trip hazard. Cable reels with slip rings offer a solution for power transmission but are often only available as a complete package with a custom cable. A further disadvantage is that the fast transmission of data and media can be difficult with slip rings. Therefore, Igus has developed the e-spool flex cable reel, which uses a spiral guide instead. It moves a single cable or hose safely and stows it away quickly whilst retaining an end-to-end connection.
