The new e-spool flex 2.0 from igus moves a single cable or hose safely and stows it away quickly whilst retaining an end-to-end connection.
The new cable reel will guide a power or data cable or a hose for air and liquids without interruption.
The user can also install an existing cable or hose into the system, if required.
Simply insert the cable or hose into the spiral guide, then the guide is then inserted into the outer housing of the e spool flex 2.0.
The slip-ring free system is available in two versions: a low-cost system with manual winder or an automatic solution with a brake and a spring-driven return mechanism.
The e-spool flex 2.0 is available in three sizes for cables with a diameter of 5 to 11mm and an extension length of 5 to 15m.
The cable can be quickly replaced at any time. In addition to using the e-spool flex with an existing cable, igus also offers the cable reel solution fully harnessed with chainflex cables designed specifically for moving applications.
