Cables and energy supply systems prove themselves in high-speed injection moulding machine

Hekuma has been relying on chainflex® control cable and E6-energy chain for over 10 years

Profile

  • What was needed: chainflex® CF9 control cable, energy chain series E6
  • Requirements: The removal robot reaches extreme speeds, the removal time of the injection moulded parts is less than one second. Within just a few months, several million double strokes have already been achieved at very high accelerations of up to 10 g.
  • Industry: Plastics machines, injection moulding machines
  • Success for the customer: CF9-control cable with narrow bend radius remained stable for years thanks to bundle stranding, even under the highest bending stress and high dynamics. The jacket made of abrasion-resistant TPE ensures very good abrasion properties. The E6-energy chain also reliably handles the high dynamics without failure.

Solution

"We have been using cables from the chainflex® programme from igus® for around ten years. Our internal standard cable is the CF9 series with cross section from 0.25 to 0.34 mm2 as INI-cable. We have had very good experiences with this."
