The absence of these protective hoses reduces cost and helps ease maintenance too. 3D drawing of the readychain with assembly frame can be created in order to simulate the assembly procedure. The benefit could be seen straight away: The first energy chain fitted with all electrical cables was installed on the machine in an hour. The second chain with hydraulic hoses was installed even faster, taking just 40 minutes.

Work steps cut out for significantly greater productivity
Normally, machine tool manufacturers try to avoid too many different work steps being carried out on a system at the same time. A lot of manual work done by different employees does not necessarily enhance efficiency; on the contrary, it increases the probability that errors can occur. By using igus readychains, all four e-chains from igus can be fully installed in half a day. Readychain is able to cut out some work steps, reduce process cost and, at the same time, greatly improve productivity.
