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. |

Quickly harnessed and safely protected with new pair shielding for igus servo cables20-03-2019
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. |

Safely sealed up: iglidur sealing concept for longer service life16-01-2019
New seals for maintenance-free plain bearings from igus provide additional hygiene and protection against extreme dirt accumulation. Heavy dirt, abrasive dust and aggressive media can, under extreme circumstances, stress plain bearings and damage the shaft. In order to further optimise the safety of machinery and plants in these cases, igus has now developed sealing rings for its lubrication-free polymer flanged bearings. Simply put on the flange, it protects the plain bearing and components behind them. In this way, machine downtime can be avoided and service life increased. |
