00:00:01 [Music] hi i'm don nester with igis i'm the chainflex product manager here and today i'm going to talk about our continuous flexing cables we have a line of cables called chain flex that are designed to work inside of our energy chain cable carrier [Music]
00:00:29 all of our cables are made for moving applications and specifically inside of energy chain cable carriers igus is well known for energy chain and 30 years ago our customers were coming to us with cable failures you know they were using cables that weren't necessarily designed for
00:00:47 continuous flexing in fact 30 years ago there weren't a lot of choices for moving cable so we realized that if we could offer our own cables we could offer customers a complete system energy chain system the carrier with the cables in we have a 40 000 square foot test lab in germany that just tests cables and carrier all day all the materials have been tested
00:01:13 to work in conjunction with the cable carrier the abrasion the millions of cycles that these cables have to endure we prove it out and we guarantee it okay so let's go through and take a look at some of the different types of cables we offer we have control cables which cover a wide range of gauge size
00:01:33 and conductor count we have robotic cables for torsion on six axis robots we have different types of motion covered as well power cables up to very large gauge sizes for high power needs drive technology for all the different motor types a wide range of bus
00:01:53 and ethernet industrial ethernet cables so we have all your different bus networks covered there fiber optics for example we have continuous flexing fiber optic cables we have a whole range of cables to cover all the different application types you may have and now let's take a walk out into the warehouse
00:02:14 okay so here we are at the chainflex area of our rhode island headquarters where we keep 3.5 million feet of cable in stock we have no cut charges no minimum length and what that means to you is you can go to our website or our catalog select the types of cables you need and we'll ship them directly to you so if you need
