Lubrication- and maintenance-free xiros stainless steel support roller ensures safe operation thanks to electrostatic dissipation. Sparks caused by a lack of electrostatic dissipation can lead to expensive failures of machines and systems, and in the worst case can lead to explosions. To increase protection, igus has introduced a dissipated version of its lubrication- and maintenance-free […]
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, […]
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 […]
