The 37-wire cable strand used in this filling unit for tiny liquid amounts in the pharmaceutical industry has been defective time and time again. The cable strand connects the electronics with a stationary robot, which moves along two axes. It was only when the customer started to use igus® Chainflex® cables routed in an easy-open e-chain® of the B15 series that the downtimes could almost be eliminated.
