Igus, the leading motion plastics producer worldwide, has developed a new logistics solution for its special energy chain cables – Chainflex CASE. The chain cables are now delivered in a 50x45x40 centimetre box by a parcel deliverer instead of a courier. “This development can save up to 74 per cent of shipping cost,” says Andreas Muckes, Head of Product Management chainflex cables. A QR code on the chainflex CASE ensures that the cable can be re-ordered quickly.
According to the company, the chainflex CASE offers even more practical advantages. The boxes are not only easy to ship but also stackable therefore a customized storage facility can be set up quickly at the construction site. The chainflex CASE can also prove to be a practical solution for companies that do not have the capacity for large and expensive cable storage.
The cables are protected by the case and can be easily unreeled straight from the box by means of a specially designed drum. With the introduction of chainflex Case, a pallet lifter, a cable de-reeler, or a trestle are a thing of the past. Andreas Muckes said "The box is extremely light, yet robust and also easy to recycle as it is made entirely of corrugated cardboard.
For the convenience of reordering, a QR code is printed on each box that leads the user straight to igus' online shop. This means that the cable can be re-ordered without having to search for the type designation for a long time. The new chainflex CASE offers control, data, bus, servo, measuring system, and motor cables, directly from stock and without minimum quantity.
The cable extends up to 200 meters with a maximum weight of 70 kilograms. All the igus cables are specifically designed for the energy chain and are tested in the 3,800 square meter laboratory. igus ensures a 36-month guarantee on the cables to its customers, unique in the industry.
