Water treatment plants or sewage treatment plants are harsh environments. They are full of chemicals, bacteria and waste. This environment requires products that can withstand chemical wash downs, dirt and extreme temperatures so igus® energy chains are ideal for this. They are maintenance free, modular and allow any different type of service (power, data, fluids […]
Recycling pioneer Mura Technology begins construction of world’s first commercial HydroPRS plant for chemical recycling of plastics Hydrothermal Plastic Recycling Solution (HydroPRS) is an advanced chemical recycling process designed to rapidly convert waste plastic that cannot be recycled easily, into valuable raw materials, reusing waste that would otherwise pollute the environment. Motion plastics specialist igus has invested further in recycling […]
iglidur® plain bearings are generally insensitive to dirt and dust due to their lubrication-free dry operation. With the new iglidur® SG03 sealing system, you can do without lubrication and reliably keep dust and dirt out of the bearing point. You can see how the seal bearing protect the bearing and shaft in this week’s video […]
Igus releases a cost-effective, lightweight, plug & play gearbox kit consisting of gearbox, encoder, controller, force control system and motor for collaborative robotics. The potential for service robotics is growing fast: in hospitality, medical care, agriculture and logistics, lightweight robots help to automate monotonous tasks. To show that using service robots can be easy and […]
The igus® drylin® range is known for being lubrication-free, robust and will never shy away from a challenge! In this week’s video of the week, the drylin® telescopic rails are put to the test being covered in dirt, sand and water. See how well they cope in such environments.

3D printed plastic grippers save packaging manufacturers 85 per cent on costs and 70 per cent on time. Animals and birds can adjust the power and position of their grip in many ways to suit their needs. Industrial applications tend to be binary in comparison; mechanical grippers used for attaching lids to jars, for example, […]
The igus® e-chain® is a great alternative to busbar and festoon systems and thanks to the various orientation options, these can be assembled in warehouses and on indoor cranes. In this week’s video of the week you can see exactly why the igus® system is the ideal system. To view the video, click here https://youtu.be/cQ1mKw9VAD4 […]
Universal separators and shelves with locking tabs ensure simple and flexible e-chain assembly For safe cable guidance in unsupported and long travels, igus has developed the E4Q energy chain. The bionically inspired design saves weight, while crossbars with locking tabs reduces the assembly time of the e-chain by 40 per cent. To facilitate assembly further, […]
