New products in energy chains project planning

CT200 modular housing for e-chain systems®

The CT200 guide trough system is a material- and cost-efficient guide trough with housing. Thanks to the reduced number of versions it improves assembly and maintenance and offers broad compatibility with several trough and energy chain series for demanding industrial applications.

e-spool® theatre kit

The e-spool® theatre kit is a modular, space-saving solution for travel distances of up to 15 m in theatres and event spaces with limited access. It can be flexibly installed on site and offers the full performance, quality and compatibility of the tried-and-tested e-spool® theatre.

Steel guide trough ST200

The ST200 offers a standardised, robust and maintenance-friendly solution for long travels - with modular assembly sets and the use of the new E4.1R rol e-chain.

e-spool® theatre HD30
igus® is now expanding its existing product range with travel lengths of 10 and 15 metres to include a further 21-metre version. The twisterband TBHD30 makes this possible and can still be operated with the redundant spring system for safe retraction.

• Guide different media and diameters in one system without a slip ring
• Motor and control system not required
• twisterband proven as a slip ring alternative in hundreds of e-spool® applications
• Optimised manufacturing process through standardised parts

Design study: e-spool® theatre HD42e
The new standard for up to 40 metres of travel, developed in accordance with DIN EN 17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390. Equipped with a powerful motor and intelligent control system, the e-spool® HD42e offers higher filling weights and a modular system that allows for easy customisation and expansion.

• Compact size and more flexible travel: With a travel of up to 40m, the e-spool adapts perfectly to your requirements
• Powerful motor and intelligent control system from igus®: The e-spool HD42e is equipped with a robust motor and an intelligent control system that ensure maximum reliability
• Versatility: Different media and diameters can be guided in one system without slip rings
• Optimised production process: standardised identical parts ensure an efficient production process

Polymer rotation module ReBeL-Twist
The new polymer rotation module is designed to fit axis 1 of the ReBeL and Universal Robots UR10e and enables simple integration.

• Standardised guide segments: suitable for different chain widths from 20 to 50mm. All media are safely guided during the movement of the robot
• Easy assembly: few components and interfaces ensure quick and uncomplicated installation
• Tested in the igus® laboratory

Developed for theatre and stage use in accordance with DIN EN 17206 and DGUV principle 315-390. Since last year, it has become an indispensable standard in theatre and stage technology. A further, more compact size with a travel of 10m and the new, optional accessories (ratchet, brake and connecting brackets for ceiling installation) now round off the product range. The extended length of the chain can be individually positioned using the ratchet. The brake ensures controlled winding. The connection brackets help when installing under the customer structure.

The e-spool microphone fills a gap in the field of sound technology and is particularly versatile thanks to its compact size and lightweight design. The use of the twisterband eliminates the need for a slip ring. Uninterrupted sound transmission can thus be guaranteed, for an extension length of 30m. With the e-spool microphone stereo, two cables are guided in parallel so that two microphones can be connected. Both systems are supplied complete with motor and control system, the e-spool® microphone stereo also comes with a microphone rail for two microphones.

The new igus® standard for support plates and floating moving ends with identical hole pattern and the same attachment height for an even more installation-friendly connection of the e-chain system® to the moving end. The system is supplied with an integrated holder for strain relief and can optionally be equipped with EC.P push/pull force monitoring.

Occasionally, the numerous standards do not fit into the available installation space and a custom rotating energy supply in a different installation size has to be elaborately designed. Configuring the perfect rotating energy supply system for your application is easy and takes just a few seconds - with the new Rotation Module Configurator. With an outer diameter of 200mm to 2,500mm, you receive a finished standard in your desired size, which you can order directly online.

e-spool® energy chain system - For theatres and stages
Discover the energy chain system for theatres and stages in accordance with DIN EN 17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390. The e-spool® is a cable guidance system with automatic retraction (spring tension). A new tension-optimised e-chain® is guided with a drum and uses an integrated retaining spring to ensure the correct length and tension for the energy supply system. The twisterband connects the drum with the shaft end block, which serves as an interface to the permanently installed cables.

• Different media types and sizes safely and reliably guided in one system
• Price reduced by up to 50% compared to previous e-spool® solutions
• Developed following DIN EN 17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390
• Optimised manufacturing process through standardised parts
• Spring force/rotary sensor monitoring (optional)
