At igus the name
"readychain" stands for pre-assembled tailor-made energy chain
systems. With the new readychain Basic, Standard, Standard Plus and Premium,
the motion plastics specialist now has four options in its product range, which
delivers everything to customers from a single source, from the simple
combination of an e-chain and cable up to fully harnessed and assembled energy
chain systems. This is not only convenient but also saves operating costs.
igus offers reliable, tested energy chains and cables for moving
applications as well ready harnessed complete systems. Especially for long
travel distances and highly filled multi-axis systems, they not only save time
in harnessing and assembly but also offer predictable costs to customers. All moving components were
developed, tested and coordinated in igus' own test laboratory. With readychain, customers receive a complete reliable pre-assembled
system from a single source, directly from the manufacturer and with a
guarantee. At the same
time, the number of suppliers and orders can be reduced by up to 75 percent,
while storage and process costs are avoided.
One order, one invoice, one delivery
igus project managers accompany the
readychain systems through all phases of the project. While doing so the
interfaces, delivery status, assembly process and effort of the customer are
just as important as the product itself. In the igus factory, the readychains
are manufactured industrially on an area of 3,000 square metres with
state-of-the-art production technology and specialised employees – from simple
to complex systems with individually specified cables, hoses, plug connectors,
internal separators, mounting brackets and attachments. "We are
industrialising manual work," explains Christian Stremlau, head of the
readychain and readycable business unit at igus. "Because throughput,
quality and price have become more important." Depending on the degree of
harnessing the customer can choose between un-harnessed chainflexcables
(readychain Basic) or pre-assembled readycable cables (readychain standard) for
use in e-chains. This is also available as a ready-to-install multi-axis system
with sheet metal, which reduces the plug-in points and optimises the connection
interfaces (readychain Standard Plus).
The user has access to the
comprehensive readycable range with over 4,000 different drive cables in seven
quality classes. "The pre-harnessed cables, including connectors, are
custom-made in the desired length with centimetre precision, as is now normal
for the industry," Stremlau adds. "At igus, therefore, there is no
minimum quantity surcharge." For further cost savings and at the same time
high convenience for the customer, igus offers to undertake the delivery and assembly
of the fully harnessed energy chain system directly on the machine (readychain
Premium). A precisely fitting transport frame known as the "readychain
rack" ensures a secure and fast mounting of the module on site, so that it
can be put into operation immediately in a machine tool via plug & play.
For product and service, the customer receives only a single order number per
product group. igus manufactures the readychains in twelve factories across the
globe and delivers them virtually worldwide, thanks to the sophisticated
logistics, within one to ten days on the guaranteed deadline.
