Billions of test cycles in the company’s in-house laboratory means igus can extend its industry-leading four-year warranty for all products that can be calculated in terms of service life. First, chainflex cables offered the four-year warranty: and now igus is now offering this extended warranty for all products with an igus service life calculation. Customers […]
The switch to igutex® polymer bearings for long standing customer and agricultural equipment manufacturer Sumo UK Ltd, has allowed them to produce longer lasting, durable machinery and save on the cost of standard metal bearings that require lubrication. Finding bearings that are cost-effective, tough enough to take on the most heavy-duty loads, and that minimise […]
Through downsizing, the draw-e-chain saves 30% in costs in applications with occasional movement igus has launched the draw-e-chain for cable routing in drawers and pull-out applications like server racks. Thanks to its minimal structural design, this compact energy chain costs 30% less than that of the most cost-effective standard e-chains. This prevents costly oversizing, especially […]
The first batch of the famous all-plastic igus bicycle is in production, while igus builds a high-volume production line. The day has finally come. After months of development, the igus:bike, a bicycle made of 92% plastic with a high proportion of recycled material, is in production. The first 100 bikes are being produced while igus […]
igus launches a new lubrication-free material, for bearings needing higher running performance with high dynamic forces, ideal for heavy-duty applications. igus has developed plain bearings made from high-strength, fibre-wound materials – the igutex bearing family. These use carbon fibre embedded in the material and are used where very high impact loads occur and where injection-moulded […]
Would your company like to save multiple hours and cash for every machine you build? MACH 2024 presents Module Connect, a unique and elegant engineering design to help machine users save assembly time. Plus: not one but three low-cost robots will be demonstrated, part of the popular RBTX.com marketplace helping companies automate low-scale but precise […]
But that’s not all: igus constantly develops its smart plastics services to respond to challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers. For example, thanks to an igus digital service called “superwise“, it is easier now ever to monitor all one’s applications via a central dashboard with less expenditure on personnel. This connection, by the […]
New generation of igubal spherical plain bearings are equipped with a predictive maintenance system Costly machine failures due to undetected defects in demanding applications should soon be made redundant, thanks to a new generation of two- and four-hole flange bearings with “smart” features. The lubrication-free high-performance plastic bearings are equipped with miniature wireless sensors that […]
New stepper motor for drylin linear axes provides space-saving and cost-effective dual drive To help customers get started with automation, especially where space is limited, igus has developed a new dual drive stepper motor for its drylin linear technology. It can be used to drive two linear systems directly, which also saves space. Another potential […]
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 […]
