Spring cable drum e-spool® without slip ring

The e-spool spring cable drums from igus ensure that portable machines and systems are supplied with energy, data, compressed air and liquids safely, even under the most difficult conditions in the smallest of spaces. Compared to the classic cable drum, the e-spool is the only solution that can not only carry energy, but also all media such as data, compressed air and liquids. Examples: e-spool in the event hall, in automated high-bay warehouses, in cable robots, in stage technology or in steel works.

All igus e-spool spring cable drums consist of an energy chain that is guided by a roller and ensures that the energy supply system is exactly at the right length and tension at all times thanks to an integrated retaining spring. And a twisterband is responsible for the turning movements. This special structure makes movements in every direction possible. By using the twisterband, the e-spool does not require a slip ring. This makes data transmission highly reliable, while enabling a high degree of stability at the same time. Furthermore, the e-spool can be guided in all directions (horizontally, vertically, diagonally) and saves space, since the energy chain is rolled up in the starting position and the paths remain free.
