At first glance, cables appear to be an inconspicuous part. However, they have a great influence on the function of machines. Often referred to as the umbilical cord of the machine, they determine whether giant port cranes move even a millimetre.
Our customers therefore want guaranteed service life, so that planning security and reliability are guaranteed. Due to our large number of trials and tests, we can give our customers a guarantee and reliable prediction about the service life of our cables.
Why not provide the catalogue product range with a clear guarantee to give every user security? Because whenever energy or data is routed or moved, cables that can withstand the appropriate loads are needed. In order to be able to guarantee the greatest possible safety here, we are aware of our responsibility as the world market leader for energy chains and, with chainflex, supply the best possible cable solution that is guaranteed to work.
Statements have emerged that take into account a wide variety of applications and can even be calculated online. We give a guarantee of up to 36 months on every chainflex cable delivered from our catalogue range. This guarantee promise is based on the findings gained in the company's own test laboratory, which is the world's largest e-chain test laboratory with 2750m². All our cable types are vigorously tested here in over 800 parallel tests. The advertised service life is therefore not loose promises, but are based on facts from the numerous tests in e-chains.
The company igus was the first cable manufacturer to offer the promise of an up to 36-month guarantee for chainflex cables in connection with the 2 billion test strokes and 250 million cycles in batch tests. In a complex certification process, the US "Underwriters Laboratories" institute, confirmed the accuracy of the statement "igus 36-month chainflex cable guarantee and service life calculator based on 2 billion test cycles per year". This makes igus the first company in Europe to have the integrity of an advertising statement confirmed by a neutral testing institution. In future, no chainflex cable will leave the factory anywhere in the world that does not have the UL test mark with the number B129699.
For customers, this provides reassurance and the certainty that this guarantee statement is not just a throwaway marketing statement. It is a statement based on real data. In addition, this has now been confirmed once again by one of the largest independent and renowned test institutes in the world.
