Quicker chain opening
25 February 2014
igus has introduced a tool that cuts energy chain opening times from 33 to just 2 seconds.

The energy chain opening tool makes it quick and easy to open the cross bars, providing an effective solution for energy chain filling and assembly.
The opening tool has been carefully developed to live up to the ‘plastics for longer life’ mantra that has been at the heart of igus’ technology for almost 50 years.
Made from high-performance plastic material, the tool is virtually maintenance-free, providing designers and engineers with a reliable and cost-conscious solution.
