Greaves 3D Engineering builds collapsible simulator with 45 igus components such as maintenance-free drylin linear and drive technology UK company Greaves 3D Engineering has developed a professional racing car simulator called “The Ultimate Drivers Rig”, which can be quickly folded up and stored in a road case. This makes transport to racetracks, trade shows and […]
Battery production with the highest safety rating: triflex R TRC made of ESD material receives the highest dry cleanroom certification for ISO class 4-5 With demand for electric cars growing1, the demand for high quality lithium-ion batteries is also increasing. These batteries should ideally be manufactured in minimum humidity and particle-free environments, in so-called dry […]
When you think of industrial robots do you think of delicate touch and movement? With the industrial robots featured in this week’s “video of the week” we see how gentle and precise these large industrial robots can be. Using triflex® energy chains, Bosch protect their cables from damage while still maintaining the freedom of movement. […]
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 […]
Breakdowns can be catastrophic in regard to time and money, especially on production lines where industrial robots are used. To ensure your robot stays in top working order, igus® now offers smart plastics solutions for robots. The condition monitoring system notifies you if an error/breakage occurs allowing you to react quickly in replacing the affected […]
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 […]
The degree of freedom required for industrial robots and cobots is immense but thanks to the easily assembled triflex® energy chain range, cables are protected from corkscrewing and wearing. The modular design is simple to fit, allows cables to be inserted easily and without having to break down the entire robot. In this week’s video […]
The SCARA Cable Solution reinforces corrugated pipes and makes the supply of energy more durable in fast dynamic applications SCARA robots used for “pick & place” and simple assembly tasks in industry move incredibly fast. But these rapid dynamics have a price; classic corrugated cable hoses for energy supply wear out quickly. In response, igus […]
Chainflex cables and three-dimensional e-chain ensure reliable operation even with the narrowest bending radii. Whether creating unique store concepts, futuristic concrete stairs and modern building facades, Dutch architectural design company Aectual produces very special architectural projects with the help of its robot-driven XXL 3D printer. For reliable “lights-out” robot operation, the designers opted for highly […]
In this video you can see the comparison between the assembly time of an igus® plastic cobot clamp and the metal version. There simply is no comparison when it comes to the speed, however the metal ones can sometimes be the better option when there is a faster motion. Luckily igus® offers both options! So, […]
