Machining centres

Energy chains, cables, and
bearing technology for machine tools

Machines for turning, milling, grinding, or drilling. Machining centres are diverse and often highly specialised. But requirements for suitable igus products are similar. Reliable energy supply systems, cables, and bearings are always required for short distances with high dynamics. There is also sometimes a very high load due to chips, cooling lubricant, or abrasives. Our robust, sealed energy chains support you in maximising machine availability. We can help you with any challenge – small installation spaces, high travel speeds, or fast, convenient installation.
