Energy chains
New igus energy chain can be installed in seconds and is the second igus e-chain series to be made of 100% recycled material. The simplest products are often both the most cost-effective, and the best technically. igus has now developed snapchain 2.0, a sustainable energy chain especially for simple, flat cable packages made of 100% […]
There are so many applications within the material handling industry that need reliable, effective, and durable products, so it is hardly surprising that there are so many igus® products used in these applications. In this week’s “video of the week”, we see a small selection of igus® parts in action in material handling, from drylin® […]
With the automotive industry being such a high cost per hour, it is vital that all machinery runs as smoothly as possible and with minimal maintenance. In this weeks, “video of the week”, you can see a variety of applications within the automotive industry that use igus® energy chains. From the robotic triflex® series to […]
Cleanroom environments have vastly increased since Covid, which is hardly surprising. But ensuring that the products within that cleanroom work efficiently, whilst still maintaining the cleanroom standard can be tricky. In this week’s “video of the week”, a new addition to the clean room energy chain family is introduced. The C6 chain is ideal for […]
Downtime costs money. Wasted money causes stress. Stress causes unhappiness. In order to prevent unhappiness, stress and wasted money companies are investing in smart technology which alerts staff when breakages or excessive wear is occurring in production lines. In this video of the week, you can see how simple the technology and system and how […]
