EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. — igus® Inc. has published a new 2009 catalog for its Chainflex® continuous-flex cables, which are specifically designed for demanding high-flex applications on all types of automated machinery. The continuous-flex cable book features an easy-to-use quick reference guide, application examples from a wide range of industries and details on the latest Chainflex cables.

The new catalog’s reference guide makes it easy to select a continuous-flex cable by highlighting key features, such as jacket types, temperatures limits, price indexes, and maximum bending radii.

The catalog also offers information about new Chainflex cables, including CF Robot, a shielded cable for applications involving high levels of torsion, Firewire cables for long distance machine vision applications, and cables specifically designed for USB applications.

In addition to its line of continuous-flex cables, igus offers Energy Chain® cable carriers to guide and protect moving cables and hoses on automated machinery. Both the company’s cable carriers and Chainflex cables are specially developed to work together to increase cable service life and maximize uptime due to cable failure.
