Energy chains have become an essential part of modern mechanical engineering. Wherever moving parts need to be supplied with energy, these components are in demand as critical machine parts.
As automation tasks become more complex, the requirements for energy chains continue to grow as well. The increasing use of robots in production facilities and logistics centers around the world is a particular driver for innovation.
Groundbreaking innovations in this field often come from the same company: igus. The family company from Cologne is the market leader for energy chains and an expert in lubrication-free high-performance plastics. A proven collaboration
But the production of high-quality, long-lasting energy chains requires more than just plastics know-how. It also requires in-depth knowledge of cable and connection technology.
Here, igus experts trust in the expertise of the specialists at Murrelektronik.
Murrelektronik is not only a leading company in decentralized electrical automation technology, but also one of the most important developers and manufacturers of pre-assembled, ready-to-connect connections and connection cables based on internationally recognized standards and has decades of experience in this field. .
And so, in the minds of the two market leaders, an idea began to take shape: “If our cooperation is going so well, why not take it a step further?” We aim for the best solutions together
This is why the two companies announced their cooperation at SPS 2024. As part of their strategic partnership, Murrelektronik and igus are joining forces in the optimal design of automation technology, especially for dynamic machine parts, in order to offer customers consistency, robustness and cost-effective decentralized installation concepts.
The first visible signs of the strategic partnership were seen during the SPS trade fair with a demonstration system at the Murrelektronik stand. The system was equipped with an igus e-chain®. And at the igus stand, visitors could find out more about Murrelektronik’s decentralized electric automation technology.
