Automating production is becoming the focus of many companies and Axis Harvesting is no exception. From weighing to packaging the punnets, automation helps alongside humans to process over 90 tonnes of mushrooms per week. In this week’s video you can easily spot the bright blue igus® Th3 hygienic energy chain, cable managing the igus® readycables! […]
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 […]
Increasingly complex technical challenges of stage productions need clever engineering. Learn about igus e-spools, zigzag systems and chainflex cables at The ABTT Show next week. Fantastic stage designs transform in seconds automatically. Giant mechanised props are lifted and rotated with ease. Lighting rigs, trusses and whole stage sets must be moved and stowed quickly and […]
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 […]
Downtime costs money! So, to help prevent this igus® has the i-cee:plus- an intuitive hardware and software system that not only gives you a lifetime prediction of your energy chains and pre-warns you of potential failures BEFORE they occur so you can schedule planned downtime to suit you and your business. In this week’s video […]
The solar industry is growing rapidly and with the help of lubrication-free products, they are changing the way things are produced and how applications operate. In this week’s video of the week, we can see how both igubal® and energy chain parts are used all over the world to help sustainable applications. To view the […]
New flexible chainflex cable saves 40% space ine-chains and ensures secure energy and data transmission The next generation of motors are designed to be small, compact, and fast, and more and more drive manufacturers are relying on hybrid technology to save space. In response, igus has now expanded its range of hybrid cables with a […]
It is vital to keep offices and personal workspaces clear from loose cables. Not only is this important for aesthetics but also from a safety point of view, loose cables can be hazardous. In this weeks’ video of the week, you can see that with its modular design, the office chain is easily lengthened and […]
The plug-in principle of readychain micro-speed enables fast connection of e-chain systems in small installation spaces igus has launched a plug-and-play energy chain system called readychain speed that allows connection of fully assembled e-chain systems in seconds, with no tools needed. This reduces assembly throughput times or machine downtime, and planned maintenance work can be […]
In this week’s video of the week, the ease in which a cable can be inserted into one of our energy chains is clear. Whether it is air, liquid or hydraulics being carried within the chain, the cables are protected and can be changed quickly if required.
