Re: How to use igus chain.

Maybe a quantum transport mechanism? :0 The heat gun required to reassemble the ball didn't get by tech inspection.

We attached our wire bundle on the outboard edge of the turret & high on the support frame: allowing a loop to hang down. We used spiral wrap to keep it compact & made sure there was no perturbations on the robot for it to hang on. We easily got +- 180 degrees.

I actually was actually unsure of how my theory would work until I realized a fixed point above the center of rotation would do the trick.

Re: How to use igus chain.

Igus actually offers several non-linear products that may be beneficial for the application. The following links will take you to a couple of them.
