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 […]
Lightweight, quiet, corrosion resistant, it is clear to see why more and more automotive designers are designing igus® products into their car designs. In this week’s “video of the week” the various areas where the xiros® ball bearings can be used can be seen clearly. Having a large range of sizes, materials and having the […]
This is quite a common question and in this week’s video of the week, the question is answered. The xiros® range of polymer ball bearings are low friction, cost-effective and dirt resistant. Not only that, but they are also quiet which is crucial in Automation. So, in answer to the question, ball bearings are perfect […]
When you think of car seat, you probably don’t think of the components designed and used within the mechanism of that seat! Why would you? In this weeks’ video of the week, the seat is stripped back to reveal the multiple igus® products found within the often-complicated mechanisms. You might be surprised by what you […]
igus VAVE-oriented plastic bearings bring high-performance, low-cost parts solutions to the automotive industry at a very challenging time – proving the igus mantra of Tech up, Cost down. The automotive industry is in constant a state of change, with high product introduction turnover and now the shift to electrification. Costs are rising fast – materials, […]
A new elastic double joint from plastics specialist igus is proving to be a perfect – and quiet – solution for the machine building sector. The igubal GPZM coupling joint, which was officially launched at the end of 2020, is lubrication-free, maintenance-free and 20% more flexible than its conventional alternative. Dean Aylott, Product Manager at […]
13th August, 2020 The automotive industry is notoriously difficult to satisfy, especially with such high standards in every area of production. Utilising igus® products within the car’s design, not only reduces weight and noise but is also more cost-effective than their metal counterparts. In this week’s video of the week, examples of iglidur® products are […]
7th April, 2020 igus has now added two new sizes to its twisterband HD range with inner heights of 11mm and 18mm. The key advantage over slip ring systems is that it guides electrical, fibre optic and pneumatic cables all together. Target applications include rotary tables and robots. twisterband HD energy chains are already being […]
11th February, 2020 Many designers in the industrial sector rely on wear-resistant, high-performance plastic parts for use wherever there is friction between two surfaces. To ensure they get their special plastic part, igus has integrated its Print2Mould process in its online 3D printing service. With a printed tool, the component is manufactured by injection moulding.
