Swarf-resistant energy chains up to +850°C

No burning or melting marks in the swarf area thanks to the igus® material igumid® HT
igus® Energy tubes have been used in the chip area for over 20 years. However, some applications - depending on the number, size and temperature of the chips - left burn and melt marks. The new igus® material igumid® HT puts an end to this. New possibilities are now opening up for replacing more unwieldy metal energy supplies.
