Video shows how twisterband guides cables for multiple turns
The igus twisterband range has further extended its reach by providing compact horizontal rotations of up to 7000 degrees, which is nearly 20 full-turns, and vertical rotations of 3000 degrees. At speeds of up to 180deg/sec, that is 30 full-turns in a minute. Made from lightweight, yet tough, advanced engineering polymers, twisterband HD features a strong pinned connection between each of its links for a longer service life.
The links are easy to open and quick to fill - power, data and media, such as air and fluid, are guided securely in one system, which is not possible when using a traditional slip-ring. twisterband is available in five standard sizes from 120mm to 300mm diameter, and the twisterband HD version is available in four standard sizes with diameters from 120mm to 420mm.
