Harnessed cables for energy supply and energy chain

The harnessing of cables according to your individual specifications or industrial standards is one of the core competences of igus®.
When harnessing cables, the choice of components is also of great importance for the subsequent quality. This is why we use flexible cables from chainflex in combination with well-known connector manufacturers e.g. Harting, Binder, TE Intercontec, Yamaichi and many others. Upon request, we can also produce customised cables according to your wishes and application requirements (no minimum order quantity).
Another advantage of harnessed igus® cables is the large number of jacket materials, which are optimised for the application and save you money.

100% safety thanks to industrial harnessing

Industrially harnessed and 100% tested

Experience the readycable® factory in all its diversity
Harnessed and ready-to-connect cables in energy chains or on robots require special specifications in order to function perfectly over a long period of time despite many cycles, high speeds and accelerations as well as challenging environmental conditions. The chainflex cables used for readycable are intensively tested in our own 3,800m² test laboratory, the largest in the industry. The harnessed readycable cables guarantee a long service life thanks to extensive tests and quality checks in our own laboratory and more than 25 years of experience in the manufacture and assembly of cables.

readycable application examples from the field

Material handling

"The ready-to-connect systems from igus optimise the procurement process,streamline internal logistics and reduce assembly times. The system partnership with igus has proven itself right from the start."<br /><br />

Markus Sellen, Product Manager Storage Technology
SSI Schäfer, Salchendorf

Pre-assembled cable guides for continuous use in storage and retrieval units

Agricultural industry

"We have had great experience with these cables. They achieve a long service life in the field and also facilitate the handling of the remote control because they are more flexible and therefore more manoeuvrable. Furthermore, we save time and do not need to provide plug-in connectors or other accessories. If we include the internal costs of harnessing, the readycable is not more expensive than the unharnessed cables."

Robotic machining centres

Assembly time reduced from weeks to days
In the machine tool industry, the installation time of the energy supply system also plays a major role, since the time extends over weeks in some applications. In this application example, the assembly time was reduced from several weeks to just half a day.

Sensor for a smart cable | i.Sense CF.P

This sensor has an "affinity" for cables

Cables that run in an energy chain require a particularly intensive "look":

The CF.P sensor measures the tensile forces on the cable
Permanently increased tensile forces can lead to cable damage and, in the worst case, to a cable fire
The CF.P sensor recognises incorrectly performed maintenance on the cables
