readychains® - Ready to fix and install
The delivery condition of your readychain® is crucial for your in-house transport and installation. To get the material to "flow" is one our most important tasks for your operation. Experienced specialists from the igus® readychain® project planning division would be glad to advise you in the definition of the componenet interfaces and on the design of the combined transport and installation aids.

Installation-optimized delivery of an igus® readychain®

The connector modules can be adapted to the filling and geometry of the e-chain in one or more layers. This enables ideal cabling in terms of function and design for every application.
 
Combining the system with the universal strain relief system from igus enables secure attachment directly in the connector housing. The soft elements used enclose the cables and hold them securely in place without damaging them. Visually reminiscent of a honeycomb, the flexible structure adapts itself to different cable diameters which provides universal strain relief.
 
For Module Connect, there are a variety of application possibilities, such as at the chain fixed end or moving end, between two e-chains or for the insertion of cables in terminal boxes or switch cabinets.
