Application examples for the twisterband system

With the very compact igus® twisterband, cost-effective rotary movements of up to 7,000° can be realised in the tightest of spaces. Energy, data and media are guided safely and with low maintenance.

Typical industries and applications:
Cable drums Robots (robot arm, 1st/6th axis, Scara robot)
axis, Scara robots), machine tools,
medical equipment, radar and telescope systems,
aviation, testing, measuring, handling, lifting and
assembly devices, wind turbines (blade adjustment) etc.
