Energy tubes withstand hot chips to 850°C

Developed for use in equipment such as welding and plasma-cutting machines, the lids of the chain are made of igumid HT. This special high-temperature material ensures that the searing debris will not stick to the tubes or burn into the material. 

Justin Leonard, the-echain director at igus, explains: “Our new high-temperature R4.1L energy tubes can be used with the peace of mind that they will protect cables against very high temperature chips and spatter without incurring damage."

All igus R4.1L high-temperature energy tubes have easy-release, snap-open hinges so customers can quickly repair or replace cables. These hinges are located either along the inner or the outer radius depending on customer preference. Horizontal or vertical cable separators, integrated strain relief and additional accessories are also available. 

They are also available to order as readychain, a preassembled energy chain system, complete with energy chain, mounting brackets, cables, connectors, and all accessories.
