igus launches twisterchain energy chain with 600° rotation for industrial robots

igus has introduced a new twisterchain energy chain designed for industrial robotics applications requiring high cable rotation, such as palletizing. According to the company, the chain supports up to 600-degree rotation, addressing a common pain point where standard cable management systems wear out or restrict motion in repetitive twisting tasks. The product is positioned for integration on robotic arms and other moving equipment where continuous torsional stress on power and signal cables can shorten service life. For buyers specifying robotic cells or palletizing lines, cable management is frequently an underestimated line item that affects uptime and maintenance intervals. Confirming rotational ratings with the cable supplier is advisable before committing to cycle-time guarantees on twisting-axis applications.
