Continuous panel feed e-spool® flex 2.0

The e-spool flex 2.0 is the igus version of a cable drum without a slip ring. Cable diameters from 5mm  to 15mm can be used. The cable is always safely routed through a feed-through to ensure that it is wound up correctly.

• Installation instructions
• Variants
• Product structure
• Potential applications
• Tests

Tech up

• Without interruption (no slip ring) also for energy,
  data, fluids and air
• Space-saving
• Can be fitted universally
• Constant tensile strain on the cable
• Locking mechanism of the cable

Cost down

• Cost-effective
• Easy in case of repair
• Simple replacement of the fitted cable, therefore adaptable
• Four configuration levels adapted to  your requirement

Proof

• Tested in the igus laboratory: e-spool flex pull-out forces and e-spool flex mini extension length compared to the competitor product

Sustainability

• No additional copper components in the system (apart from cable copper)
• Parts are reusable
• Less raw material required thanks to the option of partial repair instead of complete replacement
• Have your energy chain recycled at the end of its life cycle with the igus Chainge recycling program . Irrespective of the manufacturer. You will receive a voucher for: chainge recycling program
• igus has been an investor in Mura Technology from the beginning and is helping advance chemical recycling. From plastic waste to crude oil in 20 minutes.

For e-spool flex pull-out forces

In its test laboratory, the largest in the industry, igus compared the e-spool flex with a competing product. The test evaluated the two products' pull-out forces.

The results showed that the e-spool pull-out forces were about ten newtons, while those of the competing product were almost twice that.

A: e-spool flex
B: Competing product
C: Pull-out force [N]D: Pull-out [m]

For the e-spool flex mini extension length

In its test laboratory, the largest in the industry, igus compared the e-spool flex mini with a competing product. The test evaluated the two products' extension lengths.

The results showed that the e-spool flex mini extension length was about three metres, while that of the competing product was only half that.
