e-spool 4.0

Tech up

• Different media types and sizes safely and reliably guided in one system

Cost down

• 100% more fill weight and higher application speed compared to previous e-spool solutions

Proof

• twisterband successfully used as a slip ring alternative in hundreds of e-spool applications

Sustainability

• Less raw material required thanks to the option of partial repair instead of complete replacement.

All igus e-spool spring cable drums consist of an energy chain that is guided by a roller and ensures that the energy supply system is exactly at the right length and tension at all times thanks to an integrated retaining spring. And a twisterband is responsible for the turning movements. This special structure makes movements in every direction possible. By using the twisterband, the e-spool does not require a slip ring. This makes data transmission highly reliable, while enabling a high degree of stability at the same time. Furthermore, the e-spool can be guided in all directions (horizontally, vertically, diagonally) and saves space, since the energy chain is rolled up in the starting position and the paths remain free.

The e-spool spring cable drums ensure uninterrupted supply of energy, data, air and liquids in the convention and cultural centre in Torun. A total of ten HD e-spool systems have been installed.

The e-spool spring cable drum is used in a telescopic wind machine. The wind machine prevents frost from destroying buds and young shoots in fruit plantations.
