Awards for multi-axis energy chains

Wednesday, 14 November, 2007

Industrial components specialist Treotham Automation has seen one of its major suppliers, igus of Germany, recognised in a top-level design award competition.

Out of 2393 product entrants from 35 countries, igus won this year’s iF Product Design Award for two of its energy chain systems.

The prizes were given to their multi-axis energy chain Triflex R light, for complex 3D movements and the profile roller chain series P4, designed for distances up to 800 m while remaining quiet at speeds of up to 10 m/s.

The energy chain systems from igus have been a favourite with the iF judging panel in the past. In 2004, two models of the Triflex R light’s bigger sibling were awarded the iF Product Design Award.
