igus now provides harnessed drive and measuring systems and sensor cables for Fanuc drives in three different mechanical load qualities and in any length. igus already supplies system cables for Siemens, Indramat and Lenze drives.

Users of servo drives are relying increasingly on pre-harnessed cables in machine and plant engineering. Chainflex cables are specially designed for particularly demanding dynamic applications where factors, such as acceleration, length of travel and bending radius, must be considered.

The new, harnessed Fanuc cables are available for short, freely suspended travels (the Economy Line) and for long gliding distances with Energy Chains (the Premium Line). Both have UL and CSA approval.

PUR and TPE mixtures are available, alongside low-cost, oil-resistant PVC sheath mixtures.
