Tested in the igus® laboratory

For the extension length of the e-spool® flex mini
In its largest test laboratory in the industry, igus® compared the e-spool® flex mini with a competitor product. Both products were assessed in terms of their extension length in metres.

The result: The extension length of the e-spool® flex mini was approx. 3 metres, whereas the competitor products were only half as long.
