The compact e-spool flex mini energy supply system from Igus transmits power, data and media without interruption and without a slip ring. The dimensions of the e-spool flex mini are minimal, but the pint-sized dynamo provides plenty of punch in factories and offices all over the world.

The e-spool flex mini weighs only 200 g — about the equivalent of a cup of sugar, making it one of the smallest and lightest cable and hose reels in the world. It carries energy, data and media in a wide variety of environments without interruption in factories or offices as well as in laboratories or dental practices.

Patients in dental chairs know the sight: drills and suction cups are stored in a holder next to the chair; the cables have no guide and hang loosely. In offices or factories, where there are many wired devices in use, Source: Igusthere is frequently tangled cables. To address these concerns and issues, Igus developed the e-spool flex mini as a cable and hose drum without a slip ring. The system is only 169 mm high, 163 mm long and 78 mm deep and weighs just 200 g.

A distinctive design feature is a screw guide into which the user inserts a part of the cable. The guide can then be inserted into the winding housing in a few simple steps and the remaining cable length wound onto the drum. The cable connector hangs out of the side of the housing.

The e-spool flex mini can guide HDMI and internet cables for laptops at workstations with different users. In laboratories, for example, cables and hoses can easily be stowed under the ceiling. And even at home in a hobby room or as a charging station for an e-bike, the energy supply system keeps the area organized.
