"E4.1 system" applications
E4.1 - ONE E-Chains® series for virtually all applications - The E4.1 system combines all the benefits of its three predecessors and is the best igus® E-Chain® in the product range. The E4.1 series are more stable with the same or smaller dimensions than their predecessors. Almost all accessory components and mounting dimensions are identical. With the igus® E4.1 system, the service life of your application can be increased still more and thereby lower costs.
Typical industrial sectors and applications
cranes, indoor cranes, composting plants, sewage treatment plants, machine tools, general mechanical engineering, material handling, refrigeration, construction machinery, woodworking, robotics and handling
Overview of E 4.1 applications:
Sludge processing
plant
World's biggest polymer energy chain: Being many times lighter than comparable steel chains it easily moves over 100 kg of filling per meter.
CNC Machining Center
This CNC machining center uses e-chains® in various installation types.
Production line for fertilisers
Fewer malfunctions under aggressive environmental conditions at this fertilizer plant.
Sewage channel inspection
This TV inspection system is used to examine tunnel shafts.
X-ray machine
This global innovation can be used to approach a patient in any desired position.
Vehicle body milling machine
Chip protection means less cable damage and fewer break-downs.
Bow chain
In customized special purpose machines for model- and mold-making, four different energy supply systems are used due to the high demands and low space requirement.
Travelling column milling machine
The bronze vector® went to the advanced development of a travelling column milling machine.
Machining center bridge work
The H4.56 series was preferred because of the higher unsupported length, the plastic crossbars and easier installation of competitor's product.
Winding machine for cable
E4.1 application with partially unsupported lower run
Coal tipper
Only six weeks' service life with competitor's product. No downtime after six months with igus®.
Elevator crane
Competitor's chains broke down regularly, igus® chains worked without downtimes.
Spray-painting robot
E-Chain® product replaces competitor's product because of constant downtimes. Our advantage: High lateral stability and higher service life.
CNC machining center
High-temperature energy tubes for CNC machining centers withstand high temperatures and defy the ubiquitous flying chips.
Heavy load transporter
Rugged Energy Chains® are technically and economically the first choice in the construction of an extendable heavy load transporter.
