Online tool simplifies cable selection
Finding the correct drive cable has been further streamlined with the latest version of igus’ online tool, the readycable finder.
The motion plastics company offers a range of over 6 000 drive cables suitable for 38 manufacturer standards. Users of the company’s online tool input the part number of the motor manufacturer’s cable and are then directed to the appropriate readycable product.
Customers can choose from up to seven different cable qualities, which are designed for special requirements in the energy chain. These include different jacket materials and particular specifications, which can vary depending on the operating conditions.
The price, potential cost savings when changing the chainflex cable quality, and the delivery time of the cable are all displayed in real time and customers can place an order online.
The service life of the cable can be calculated using the integrated chainflex service life calculator. The online tool helps customers determine the service life of the selected cable, using test data from the company’s test laboratory and AI-based calculations. After entering parameters such as travel, speed, acceleration and maximum bend radius, the tool provides a calculation of the cable’s durability.
The cablefinder can be found on the igus website.
