With CF.Q, CF.D and CF.P, igus has three sensors in the product range that are designed for chainflex cables.

CF.Q is the sensor for the electrical specifications of chainflex cables

• Belongs to prevention of crash and can be used without an additional module
• Indicates changes in the electrical properties
• In the event of a fault, information by means of NO contact or message

CF.D is the sensor for measuring the transmission quality of Ethernet bus cables

• Also belongs to the prevention of crash and should be used without an additional module
• No measuring cable required, integrated sensor
• Losses of data packets are detected in good time and a message is issued

CF.P measures the tensile forces acting on cables in energy chains

• Measures directly at the strain relief element
• Triggers a shutdown by means of the NC contact if forces are excessive
