Assembly tools dramatically cut energy chain opening times

igus has developed five specialist tools for opening its energy chains, cutting the manual work time to open a metre length of chain from 33 seconds to within just 2 seconds.

Each of the tools perform a specific task; from opening of E4.216, E6.29, and E61.29 energy chain series; inserting separators, locking separators or shelves to crossbar opening.

Keeping costs down further, the grips and top pieces of these special tools can be ordered separately for easy replacement.

In addition, for customers not wishing to carry out these operations, services from simple assembling through to fully-customised design and build right up to installation and commissioning are readily available through igus.
