Fiber optic cable / Movable optical cable (robot cable)

Flexible and movable optical fiber cable / optical cable (robot cable). Supports long transmission distances with a small allowable bending radius.

The chainflex movable optical fiber cables (robot cables) include gradient (super-flexible) glass fiber cables, POF (plastic optical fiber), and HCS (hard-clad silica optical fiber). They are suitable for use in cable carriers with a small bending radius, making them ideal for movable applications over long transmission distances. They are metal-free, have excellent oil and coolant resistance, and depending on the product, can accommodate twisting use, harsh outdoor environments, high speeds, and high acceleration. - Minimum bending radius: 5xd - Outer sheath materials: PVC, PUR, TPE - Sold in cutting lengths from 1m For a list of products and detailed specifications, please download the catalog in PDF format. "If there are too many options and I don't know which is best..." "I can't find a cable that meets my usage conditions..." "I'm having trouble with disconnections using other cables." In such cases, please feel free to contact us. A representative will get back to you shortly. igus has a help desk that provides detailed answers to technical questions and assists in selecting the optimal products.

basic information

"Chainflex" is a robot cable/moving cable/bend-resistant cable specifically developed for use in the movable parts of machines and equipment. It supports "high frequency, high speed, and high acceleration" operations of machines, extending their lifespan and preventing line stoppages. It is ideal for use in cable carriers and industrial robots. With its three features of being thin, light, and long-lasting, it contributes to cost reduction in wiring for movable parts. - Thin → Compact cable carriers - Light → Lightweight cable carriers - Long-lasting → Reduced running costs - Sold by the meter, with no minimum order quantity! 【Prevents wire breakage with unique structure】 Our unique twisted bundle structure ensures that even in high-speed movable parts, it is resistant to twisting and difficult to break. This not only reduces costs through thinner and lighter designs but also helps reduce replacement frequency and improve end-user reliability with a long lifespan that can be predicted. 【Lifespan predictions based on usage conditions】 Additionally, igus conducts thorough product testing based on actual usage conditions. Therefore, accurate lifespan predictions (calculating bending cycles based on speed, stroke, and usage environment) are possible.
