A servo cable is what connects the machine to its drive and sets it in motion. That is why it is very important in mechanical engineering. Used in an energy chain, it must be fail-safe, highly flexible, durable and oil-resistant, whilst fulfilling a wide variety of standards and certifications for use in the global market. igus' CF270.UL.D range offers 32 cable cross-sections that work with drives from 24 manufacturers and were developed for use in e-chains. igus has now expanded the series to include a new cable design with (6G1.0)C for the βi Fanuc motor series. "We offer more than 20 different chainflex cable ranges specifically for the machine tool area", says Katharina Esch, International chainflex cable Product Manager for igus GmbH. "Since more and more machine builders are using Fanuc motors, we have developed a cable for them, one that can handle the demanding environmental conditions and high movement speeds and accelerations." The CF270.UL.10.06 has a PUR outer jacket that is resistant to oil and coolant and is coloured according to DESINA and certified according to 1000V UL AWM. As it does for all of its 1,350 cables, igus guarantees a service life of up to 36 months, certified and UL verified.
Cable can handle up to 18 million strokes
In test 4831 in igus' 3,800-square-metre in-house laboratory in Cologne, the chainflex cable held up for 18 million strokes. Its durability in a given application can be determined free of charge with the freely accessible online service life calculator. igus offers the new Fanuc cable either by the metre (one metre minimum) from stock, or harnessed with a suitable connector as a ready-to-connect readycable. If the user is looking for a ready-to-connect energy supply system consisting of e-chain, cables and connectors, they can use igus' readychain service.
