POLYMER energy chains provide improved low maintenance protection for cables, hoses and pneumatics for industrial equipment wherever power, data, control, fibre and optic cables are required. 

Global polymer manufacturer, igus is steadily making inroads into where its energy chains can improve cable management on machines where repetitive linear movements are required. The energy chains usually replace festoon systems on equipment like gantry cranes, tripper cars and can even replace cable reel drums on heavy duty mining machines such as stackers and reclaimers.
