Ready-to-install energy supply systems streamline your production

Pre-assembled cable carriers are complete plug-and-play systems including an energy chain, chainflex® cables, and connectors—preconfigured and tested. With igus® readychain® systems, you can reduce installation time by up to 95% while eliminating integration risks.

igus® validates every component in its test lab. Results from these tests are published and fed into the igus® service life calculator, allowing accurate lifespan predictions under real-world conditions.

Yes. igus® allows full customization—choose from 1,300+ chainflex® cable types, hundreds of energy chain styles, and connectors from all major manufacturers. Use the readycable and e-chain configurator to design your system. Contact your local sales representative to review your application.

All manufacturing industries such as automation, robotics, machine tools, packaging and other motion applications gain the most. These systems are ideal where uptime, predictable service life, and compact installation are priorities.

Yes. Nearly all chainflex® cables carry UL approval, and CE conformity. Many also comply with NFPA 79 and ISO Class 1 cleanroom standards, ideal for regulated or sensitive environments.

igus® supports connector brands like Harting, LAPP, TE, Phoenix Contact among others. Assemblies can include over molded, field-attachable, or hybrid connectors with customer-specific pinouts and labeling.

Custom solution lead times vary based on the complexity of the design.

Contact your local igus representative or product manager for current lead times.

igus® tests systems at speeds up to 10 m/s and accelerations to 50 m/s² across a range of bend radii, up to 70 million cycles. These parameters ensure readiness for high-performance, continuous-flex environments.

Yes. igus® chainflex® cables are rated for 10–100 million cycles depending on application. Browse tested cables on the chainflex® cable page by bend radius, speed, or voltage class.

igus® designs carriers with tight bend radii and optimized fill percentages, reducing system footprint. Custom bracket designs also help adapt to limited mounting space while protecting cables.

igus® customers typically reduce total system costs due to reduced design time, minimized rework, increased throughput, decreased logistics costs and faster installations. There’s also lower risk of miswiring or early failure.

Yes. igus® offers triflex® R robotic cable management with integrated chainflex® torsion-rated cables, retraction systems, and pre-pinned connectors for 6-axis robots.

igus® offers i.Sense condition monitoring and i.Cee predictive maintenance tools to track wear and prevent unplanned downtime through real-time analytics.

Every readychain® undergoes 100% electrical and mechanical QA. Tests include cable continuity, pinout validation, strain relief integrity, and visual inspection. Documentation is available on request. All cable and wire harness assemblies are made to IPC/WHMA-A-620E standards.
