igus Module Connect interface for energy chains

Connecting cables individually not only takes time, but is also prone to errors, so igus has developed the Module Connect interface concept, with which energy chains can be easily plugged together. To connect the connector to the energy chain, the user can now use an individual adapter. The energy chain thus becomes an interface that saves 80% of the installation time.

The Module Connect interface concept has been developed for applications where a large number of connected cables come together in a very small space. Instead of connecting each cable individually, the energy chain systems can be plugged in quickly through the low-profile and space-saving housing. Depending on the housing, the user can choose up to four Harting Han Modular inserts, eg, for pneumatics, power, bus and signal, from a modular system. The connectors can be individually connected to each other. A high contact density is thus possible for every application. igus developed an adapter so that the connector can also be safely connected to the energy chain. Depending on the chain series, chain width and number of Module Connect connectors, igus manufactures the adapter for each customer in 3D printing and soon also as a modular series part using injection moulding. It is then simply fastened on the Module Connect and attached to the chain using a snap-in mechanism.
