No chance for mould! igus polymer plain bearings pass the test04-07-2019
Lubrication-free iglidur plain bearings made of high-performance plastics ensure clean air in aircraft and buildings For the building and vehicle technology as well as for the aircraft industry, mould is not only a great annoyance, but also a serious health hazard. To prevent this, it is not only important to use the right ventilation technology, but also to use mould-resistant components. Therefore, igus had its materials tested for mould growth. The result: all plain bearings are resistant to fungi and bacteria. |

Quickly harnessed and safely protected with new pair shielding for igus servo cables20-06-2019
Save 30% installation time thanks to new igus pair shield design in chainflex servo cables The objective of the four-year development and testing conducted by the cable specialists at igus, was the easy processing of cables, simple installation of complex pair shield and, at the same time, increasing the service life of the energy chain. The result is a new pair shield for the chainflex servo cables of the CF 21, 27 and 29 series. This ensures maximum electromagnetic compatibility of the control pair and a faster shielding of the cable. This enables the user to save up to 30% of the processing time for the pair shield and thus also installation costs. |

Order the right connector quickly in the new igus connector shop06-06-2019
igus is expanding its services with an online shop for connectors If cables are to be harnessed, then the matching connector can be found quickly, but often cannot be ordered in small quantities from the manufacturer. Here, igus now offers an additional service with its new online shop for plug-in connectors: the customer can order the right connector for his cable at a reasonable price from a wide selection of well-known suppliers such as Harting or Intercontec from stock and with no minimum order quantity. |

Guide data, energy, fluids and air in a very tight space with igus30-05-2019
With the smart micro flizz energy supply system, cables and hoses move reliably at high speeds Guiding data and media in the tightest of spaces at high speeds is a major challenge for many users, for example in intralogistics. With the micro flizz, igus offers a compact energy supply system for travels up to 100 metres. It consists of an energy chain, flexible chainflex cables for tight bend radii and an aluminium guide channel. The micro flizz can now also be used with the new smart CF.D system. This monitors the data transmission characteristics of the cable in advance and promptly warns of a failure. |

Safe protection for the next generation of motors with new igus material23-05-2019
Optimised insulation of chainflex VFD motor and servo cables for energy chain use, thanks to new high-performance polymer The trend for variable frequency drives (VFDs) is moving towards more compact drives with the same or higher power and extremely high switching accuracies of the frequency converters. As a result, when selecting the cable the user not only has to pay attention to the right combination of number of cores and cross-sections, but also to the electrical specifications of the cable. That is why igus has now developed a material that meets the new challenges for its latest generation of motor and servo cables. In the test, it was able to withstand a bend radius of 7.2 x d over 45 million strokes. |

Safe cable guidance on the robot for a small price with igus retraction system16-05-2019
New retraction system for energy chains ensures fail-safe operation of robots in modern factories Welding, riveting, soldering: Industrial robots must work dynamically and quickly in production. Therefore, a safe and compact guidance of cables and hoses is required. This is where the three-dimensional triflex energy chains from igus are used. If the e-chains form loops in the work area of the robot, it can damage the cables and hoses as well as lead to machine failure. For this reason, igus has now developed the new low-cost TR.RSEL retraction system. The system guides the energy chain in a line on the robot, ensuring trouble-free and fail-safe operation. |

Move high loads easily with lubrication-free igus ball transfer units02-05-2019
Advanced polymer ball transfer units for conveyor tables ensure five times more load bearing capacity Ball tables are used if delicate or heavy goods are to be transported in different directions. Equipped with the new polymer ball transfer units from igus, they ensure fast transport. The ball transfer units made of the high-performance plastic xirodur B180 absorb loads of up to 500 N, are lubrication-free and maintenance-free. Stainless steel balls inside the roller allows smooth running. |

From the "rohbot" to the robot: Low Cost Automation with igus plastic arm and online marketplace model25-04-2019
robolink articulated arms and a digital platform concept facilitate initial steps in the world of cost-effective automation Low cost automation less than the price of the established automation suppliers for just a few thousand euro – this is exactly what many users want. But making wishes a reality is often a difficult task: What products go together? How good is the solution? Who can support me? At the Hannover Messe 2019, the motion plastics specialist igus presented two new approaches: A new 4 to 5-axis "rohbot" (h for half-finished) made of plastic and a model of the online marketplace for suppliers and users. |

A long journey: 80 low-cost robots from igus for research at Indian higher-education institutions11-04-2019
German-Indian knowledge transfer with easy-to-operate robot arms fur simple automation tasks Cologne, 17 January 2019 – Robotics and automation technology is an important subject within higher-education institutions in India and not only in Germany. The governments of the two countries are working together intensively in order to boost research in these areas. In response to the Indian government's search for simple robot systems for teaching purposes, robolink, the cost-effective modular system from igus, was so convincing that over 80 robolink arms for 40 Indian educational facilities were ordered. During a workshop in Aachen, professors from India gained direct, first-hand experience of how easy it is to use the low-cost robots from igus. |
