A packaging and processing machinery builder has reduced drag, improved rigidity, increased throughput and raised hygiene standards on one machine family by applying an iglidur IC-05 tribo-coating on a mitre bar application. Machine manufacturer Doel Engineering designs and builds a very wide range of processing machines, often in small batches or one-offs. To plan production […]
The solar industry is growing rapidly and with the help of lubrication-free products, they are changing the way things are produced and how applications operate. In this week’s video of the week, we can see how both igubal® and energy chain parts are used all over the world to help sustainable applications. To view the […]
Harmonised lead screws and lubrication-free lead screw nuts in trapezoidal threads extend service life by 30%. Motion plastics specialist igus has refined the classic trapezoidal thread, achieving a 30% service life extension – a huge increase for a well-established mechanical part. Thanks to a special geometric interaction between the lead screw nut, which requires no […]
Every robot is slightly different as is every application, so it is important that we have retraction systems that suit these differences. The triflex® R retraction systems are designed to cope with the complex dynamic movements of industrial robots and are compatible with many robot manufacturers. In this week’s video of the week, you can […]
New flexible chainflex cable saves 40% space ine-chains and ensures secure energy and data transmission The next generation of motors are designed to be small, compact, and fast, and more and more drive manufacturers are relying on hybrid technology to save space. In response, igus has now expanded its range of hybrid cables with a […]
