press release
igus to present heavy-duty solutions at World of Concrete 2015
The motion plastics specialist will be displaying a range of robust plastic bearings and energy supply systems, as well as guaranteed cabling solutions in booth N2573 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
January 20, 2015, East Providence, Rhode Island - igus Inc. will be sharing their wide range of engineered plastic solutions for the concrete industry at the upcoming World of Concrete show in Las Vegas, running from February 2-6 2015. At the show, technical experts will be on hand to discuss a number of ultra-rugged plastic solutions, including their E4-1 cable carrier systems, heavy-duty iglide bearings, and their tested and guaranteed ReadyCable and pre-harnessed ReadyChain systems.
On display
At the show, igus will be showcasing and demonstrating alternatives to bus bar, cable reel, and steel chain systems. igus Energy Chain System cable carriers provide affordable, durable, and readily available solutions that are proven in rough applications. The E4-1 combines the features and benefits of its predecessors in the E4 range of cable carriers, such as low noise, modularity, and ruggedness, and improves upon them: the E4-1 can travel up to 33% further in unsupported length, and has 133% higher tensile strength than the E4-00 system. With the all-for-one E4-1, you can save in purchase costs with a smaller, stronger Energy Chain System, and keep costs low with no maintenance and long carrier life.
Additionally, igus will have a selection of its bearing materials specialized for heavy-duty applications, like the Q2 and TX1. Able to stand up to very high loads, a wide range of temperatures, chemicals, and wash-downs, these specialist iglide bearings are completely self-lubricating, with no maintenance required.
The all-in-one ReadyChain and ReadyCable solutions offer an easy-ordering solution for harnessed cables in a wide range of types and connectors, to fully-harnessed, plug-and-play energy supply systems, using igus’ own Energy Chain cable carriers and Chainflex motion cables, specially designed for use in Energy Chains.
