Save installation time and improve handling: igus’s popular readychain service is complete with a new “assembly helper” device: the “fastpositioner” Idle machines and systems cost manufacturing companies valuable time and money. To make it easier for customers to install energy supply systems and reduce installation time, igus’s readychain service offers pre-assembled cable systems consisting of […]
igus has expanded its 3D printing range for wear-resistant, lubrication-free special parts – now providing service life, costs, material properties and delivery times. Knowing the durability of a 3D-printed component often makes it easier to choose the right material. That’s why igus has added a new service to its 3D printing range. The online service […]
Using an igus® low friction tribofilament and combining it with one of our high strength 3D printing materials, we are now able to offer exceptional wear resistance alongside other mechanical and functional properties. In what is known as two-component printing, similar filaments can be securely bonded together, connecting the two “phases”. This enables two very […]
iglidur i3000 makes 3D digital light processing (DLP) printing of very durable parts in the millimetre range possible iglidur i3000 from igus is the world’s first resin formulated specifically for DLP 3D printing of parts subject to wear. This enables additive manufacturing of particularly small and precise components with a service life 30 to 60 […]
New toolmaking production line enables rapid delivery of customised igus plain bearings Industrial parts and products must be delivered quickly and reliably, but the manufacture of special parts by injection moulding can take several weeks. Plastics specialist igus has expanded its in-house toolmaking department and can now offer its customers the “FastLine” express service. Lubrication-free, […]
You can now print big! Really big! Up to 3M with igus®! With the iglidur® large format printing capabilities, 3D printed parts of up to 3M are now not a problem. With a variety of materials, including FDA materials, the possibilities are endless. In this week’s short video of the week, you can see large […]
Students use drylin linear units to develop a 3D printer for the cost-effective production of structural components in outer space. When booms for solar panels or satellite antennas are transported into space in a rocket, they are exposed to very high loads. To simplify space transportation and speed up the production of these components, a […]
igus develops a blue tribo-filament for cost-effective production of special 3D printed parts for the food industry Responding to customer demand, iglidur I151 is a blue, easy-to-process material and has the best friction and wear values in its class. This new tribo-filament is a further development of the iglidur I150 all-rounder filament from igus. Due […]
Lubrication-free tribo-polymer iglidur I8-ESD enables the cost-effective manufacture of durable special parts with no minimum order quantity For safe and reliable production in the electronics and semiconductor industry, components are required that have electrostatically conductive properties. This is because even a small electric shock can destroy expensive production lines. igus has now developed a new […]
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, […]
