Digitalisation on all travels ...
... smart plastics technology now also for many e-chains® news and current top sellers in the energy supply sector
- The E4.80R modular expansion now comes with the full i.Sense product range for intelligent condition monitoring (EC.B, EC.P, and CF.P).
- The i.Sense EC.B smart breakage detection system can now be used in the new YE(HD) hybrid chain as well to protect against unexpected stoppages.
- In the new AG5.RAIL design study, i.Sense EC.P and EC.W directly lay the foundation for a predictive maintenance concept.

To the application overview
E4.80R
The E4.1 system with the E4.80 combines all the advantages of the previous three versions and is the best igus energy chain in the product range. The E4.1 series is stronger with the same or even smaller dimensions than previous versions. Almost all accessories and mounting dimensions are identical. The igus E4.1 system can further extend your application's service life while lowering costs.
E4.1 overview
YE(HD) hybrid chain
The YE system combines the higher strength of steel elements with the low weight and flexibility of plastic components and was developed from the requirements of construction machinery and lifting platforms. The YE system uses no screws, rivets, or bolts that can loosen under vibration.
E4.1 overview
AG5.RAIL
The igus autoglide 5 system transmits energy, data, liquids and air safely and practically maintenance-free in one system at a cost-effective price: from €49/m ready to install, including e-chain 2400.07AG.075.0, steel cable guide, harnessed bus cable and five single cores of 6mm² each.
E4.1 overview
e-dispenser
The goal is to provide modular energy supply solutions for different shore power applications for medium and low-voltage connections. The e-dispenser module can be used flexibly in combination with various systems (cranes, structures, mobile transfer systems, etc.). The e-dispenser module is delivered as a ready-to-install plug-and-play solution: conveyor unit with triflex R energy chain, chainflex cables, connectors, junction box, harnessing – everything tested and with a 36-month guarantee.
E4.1 overview
Intelligent condition monitoring: i.Sense
- i.Sense: [Sense = sensation] Describes the area of igus® condition monitoring
- detects machine status regularly or continuously
- uses fast switch-off to avoid crashes
- Uses modules to record data
- i.Sense EC.P: push/pull force detection for energy chains
- i.Sense EC.B: break detection for energy chains
- i.Sense CF.P: tensile force monitoring for cables

Predictive maintenance: i.Cee
- i.Cee: [Cee, derived from to see] describes the area of predictive maintenance at igus®
- predicts exact maintenance
- prevents downtime or quality loss
- enables different input options (Siemens PLC connection, integrated accelerationsensors EC.W/EC.IM, OPCUAservers etc.)
- offers customised output channels (IoT clouddashboard, local HTTPdashboard, SMS, FANUCfieldsystem integration etc.)
