More than 94 percent of time saved: igus tools allow rapid opening of energy chains

Simple things are often the best. This also applies to assembling tools from igus. The tribo polymer specialist develops tools that are especially used to open energy chains. This reduces the assembling time by around 94 percent and as a result it minimizes the standstill of a machine.

With five new and simple chain openers you can rapidly reduce the assembling time: Either by quick levering of different energy chain series E4.21, E6.29, E61.29; the comfortable insertion of separators, locking separators or shelves, right up to the opening of the crossbars. The grips and top pieces of the special tools can be ordered separately and can be easily replaced.

Easy to snap open: Opened within two seconds only
It is also possible with a simple screwdriver. However, the benefit of a tool that is especially developed for the use in energy chains takes a lot less effort and saves a great deal of time in assembling, especially when chain links need to be opened and closed in awkward places, for chains with many separators, or in the case of the large E4 and E2/000 series. If the entire chain needs to be opened or if upper or lower crossbars need to be levered – igus assembling tools simply make it faster. If you need for example 33 seconds to open a chain manually, with the igus chain opener this can be accomplished in only two seconds.
