Harnessed cables with HARTING plug-in connector

Industrial plug-in connector by HARTING

What is special about it?

Good reasons for igus to trust in the partnership with HARTING when it comes to cable harnessing: in addition to the capability of integration into their own production, the following criteria were significant for choosing HARTING as supplier for modular plug-in connectors: 
 

• Quality and innovation of the plug-in connectors
• Reliable deliveries and competitiveness of the supplier
• Variable cable harnessing based on Han-Modular® and all conventional installation sizes Han 3A, 6B, 10B, 16B and 24B
• Clarity of design of HARTING rectangular connectors: simple assembly of all parts, such as connector housings, bolt and socket inserts or cable glands

igus readycable & HARTING

What is typical of this special partnership?

igus readycable production can play to its strengths with HARTING as supplier and design-in partner of modular Han® industrial plug-in connectors .  Quality, lead time, productivity and also price are good reasons for industrial cable harnessing at igus. Combining this machine processing of the contacts in the inserts by HARTING with upstream machine cable processing, specialised harnessing areas and Kanban bearings leads to unrivalled flexibility of igus readycable:

• Ready-to-connect directly from the cable manufacturer
• Exactly in the desired length (cut with cm accuracy) 
• No minimum order value or quantity
• Ready to ship within 24hrs from stock 
• Special forms of harnessing are part of our everyday business

Why should the product live up to its promises

"36-month chainflex cable guarantee and service life calculator based on 2 billion test cycles per year"

The chainflex cables used for readycable products are intensively tested in the company's own 3,800m² test laboratory, the largest in the industry. The ready-to-connect readycable cables guarantee a long service life thanks to extensive tests and quality inspections in the company's own laboratory, and more than 25 years of experience in the manufacturing and harnessing of cables.
 
igus is now the first German firm to have this promise validated for chainflex cables. In a complex certification process, the US "Underwriters Laboratories" institute confirmed the accuracy of the "igus® 36-month chainflex® cable guarantee and service life calculator based on two billion test cycles per year"promise. This makes the Cologne-based company the first in Europe to have the veracity of an advertising statement confirmed by a testing institution. In future, every chainflex cable that leaves the factory anywhere in the world will be identified by the UL marketing label with its unique number (B129699), referring to igus.

Module Connect - the interface made to measure

One ready-to -connect connector module instead of many individual connectors

The Module Connect is a new kind of plug-in connector for the connection of electric cables, fibre-optic cables and pneumatic hoses. It is characterised by a space-saving, low-profile housing and can be used wherever a large number of cables have to be connected in an installation space as small as possible.
 
This is a joint development of igus & HARTING, which makes use of the highly customisable Han-Modular plug-in connector by HARTING. All parts in the form of used modules, articulated frames and housings can be combined with each other as desired on a modular basis and be ordered for cable harnessing at igus as readycable. Back in 2018, igus gave the green light for the first sample projects.
