igus readycable finder
An updated version of an online tool that helps users to find the right cable is now available.
Motion plastics specialist igus released the latest version of its readycable finder which includes the integrated chainflex service life calculator that can be used to predict how long the cable will last.
The new tool helps customers select the right cable of the appropriate quality at the best price. Featuring a modern, user-friendly design the online tool requires only the part number of the motor manufacturer’s cable and converts it directly into the appropriate readycable product.
The company offers a range of over 6 000 drive cables suitable for 38 manufacturer standards. Customers can choose from up to seven different cable qualities, which are designed for special requirements in the energy chain. These include a range of jacket materials and particular specifications, which can vary depending on the operating conditions.
The price, cost savings related to changing the chainflex cable quality, and delivery time are all displayed in real time, allowing customers to make an informed decision before placing an online order.
The integrated chainflex service life calculator helps customers determine the service life of a selected cable using real test data from the company’s 4 000 m2 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.
