readychain & readycable success stories from the field

readychain - complete solution from igus

Minutes instead of days: complete solution from igus reduces the assembly time of machining centres

In its robotic machining centres, Taiwanese tool manufacturer Hartford uses fully harnessed energy chain systems from igus.
This makes it possible to cut out many work steps and thus reduce the assembly time from several weeks to a mere half a day. At the same time, customers can always depend on receiving a safe and reliable solution from one source when they order readychain systems from igus.

How is the unique igus quality ensured?

In the readycable factory, internationally identical testing and documentation methods are used to meet the company's existing standards and lean methods. All produced ready-to-connect readycable units undergo a 100% digital test in their own test facility. Subsequently, the drive cables marked with the test seal are sent to the customer by the fastest possible means.All employees are trained at the headquarters in Cologne in order to be able to guarantee consistently high quality at your production site later on.

Chain - Cable - Guarantee

All components of the readychain undergo extensive quality control and functional testing

Our quality assurance checks every readychain system for function with special testing facilities before they are shipped. All readychain systems and components are tested in the igus laboratory.

More than 2000 tests are conducted on e-chains and cables each year. With an igus system guarantee (depending on the application), we guarantee the safety and quality of your readychain.
