A quick and safe energy and data transmission is
particularly important here. At the Hannover Messe, igus presents its
particularly versatile and forward looking cable solutions for use in the smart
factory. Along with the promise: "3 years' guarantee from the first
metre".
For
the factory of the future to work, a real-time communication of machines with
each other at all levels must be guaranteed. To ensure that all stations can
exchange their data with each other, Ethernet cables will be increasingly used
in factories. Not just on stationary, but also specifically in moving
equipment. For this reason, in the segment of copper-based Ethernet cables,
igus offers 23 different types, all of which are designed exclusively for
industrial, continuously moving applications, but also the most varied mechanical
requirements.
CAT7 Ethernet technology for
continuously moving applications
igus
will display its new CAT7 cable CFBUS.052 at the fair stand in Hannover . For substantially increasing data safety, it
has braided shields, pair shields and an overall braided shield with 90 percent
optical cover, which ensure functionality even after millions of bending cycles
in energy chains. The special core/braiding structure gives this CFBUS cable a
long-lasting flexural strength. "A braided shield made with an optimised
braid angle protects the overall shield against mechanical fractures as well as
the electromagnetic compatibility of the cable," explains Rainer Rössel,
head of the chainflex cables division at igus. The shielded pairs are stranded
with an optimised pitch length so that on the one hand they meet high
mechanical requirements, and on the other fulfil the electrical requirements in
terms of data transmission.
This
CAT7 cable is flame retardant like all highly abrasion-resistant TPE CFBUS
types. In addition, it has UL/CSA, EAC and CTP certifications and conforms to
DESINA. The new cable is furthermore for use in clean room environments
Fibre optic cables; communicate without
interference in highly dynamic applications
Due to
their immunity to electrical interference and the substantially higher data
capacity data transmission over fibre optic cables is of potential importance
for Industry 4.0. The range of fibre optic cables, which have also been
specially developed for continuous movement, covers all areas of mechanical
requirements. For example with the CFLG.2EC series, igus offers an affordable
fibre optic cable specifically designed for indoor use in handling or
woodworking machines. The CFROBOT5 enables robots to have fail-safe
communication in three-dimensional space. With the chainflex fibre optic cable
CFLG.LB.PUR, igus also presents a special fibre optic cable series for the
continuously moving application in the offshore and marine sectors. They are
already available with 2, 4 or 6 optical fibres or 2 optical fibres and 2 power
supply wires. The stranded-together multimode or single-mode fibres are very
bending-resistant types designed as a sub-cable, which can be fitted very
easily and cheaply with connectors. Due to its extremely high strength aramid
(Kevlar) braid over the overall stranding, even high tensile forces that may
occur in hanging applications do not damage the cable. The flame-resistant,
pressure extruded PUR outer jacket, especially tailored for energy chain use, provides
additional protection against external mechanical damage. Due to the DNV/GL
offshore approval, the new fibre optic cable family, as well as the CAT7 cable,
offers the capability to securely transmit data on offshore platforms and
ships.
