Energy chains
At igus® we are always trying to improve what moves and with our Smart plastic range, we are trying to go one step further, improves what moves BEFORE it breaks! In this week’s video of the week, we show why Smart Plastics can prevent breakdowns and are quick and easy to use. To view the […]
i.Sense CF.D sensors detect defects in chainflex bus and data cables, preventing expensive machinery downtime. Smart monitoring of bus and data cables from igus has entered the next phase with igus i.Sense CF.D monitoring sensors. They check the electrical condition of chainflex cables in e-chain systems, with no contact and without interfering with existing cable […]
Sea locks commonly use festoon systems and with that can come issues with maintenance. This is why customers are changing from festoon systems to igus® energy chains. In this week’s video of the week, the igus® e-chain® is shown powering the sea lock with ease. After retrofitting in 2006, replacing a festoon system, a further […]
Renowned globally for engineering innovation, igus is set to exceed expectations with a head-turning, maintenance-free product that will really shake up the way we travel. The future of transportation is here! It is true, this claim has been made many times before, but innovation leaders igus believe they have created a real breakthrough in low-cost […]
New small rotary module for robots, handling and camera systems saves up to 73% cost It’s lightweight, compact and made entirely of plastic: the new Polymer Rotation Module (or PRM) rotary energy supply system from igus. igus has now developed a system comprising a polymer energy chain and a low-friction plastic guide channel especially for […]
Pick and place applications are becoming increasingly popular within companies wanting to automate processes. These can be simple movements to complex actions but fundamentally the movements all need the same thing… to be smooth running. In this weeks’ video of the week, you can see how igus® products ranging from energy chains to linear gantries […]
Who said moving energy had to be difficult! With igus® energy chains, not only do we make it easy, but we also make it possible to go circular! Whatever the movement, horizontal, vertical or circular, igus® can help as you can see in this week’s video of the week. To view the video, click here […]
Moving cable applications with different orientations can cause designers issues. How can you get moving power vertically/horizontally/rotationally? With the range of energy chain variations available with igus®, there is a solution for your application. In this week’s video of the week, you can see the different vertical options for long horizontal travels. Options ensuring power […]
Compact, desktop energy supply system from igus transmits power, data and media without interruption, and without a slip ring It is 169mm high, 163mm long, 78mm deep and weighs only 200 grammes, making the e-spool flex mini from igus one of the smallest and lightest cable and hose reels in the world. It carries energy, […]
Complicated stage applications can be implemented even in confined spaces and with high loads using moving energy supply systems such as the e-spool and the zig-zag systems. The challenge for every stage and set builder is to design and build the perfect stage. Every job is different because stages are not off-the-shelf. Every stage is […]
