System guides energy, data and media safely, without interruption for rotational movements up to 360 degrees, says company
Motion plastics specialist igus has developed an extremely compact rotation module, which revolves around its own axis, even in confined spaces.
As with all rotary energy chain systems from igus, the module can be used to guide different types of media – power, signals, data, fibre-optic, pneumatic or fluids – in parallel without interruption.
Inside the module, cables and hoses are routed together without interruption, thus eliminating the need for expensive and complex rotary unions. [Read more…] about Igus launches ‘extremely compact rotation module’ for tight spaces
