Energy chains, cables and bearing technology for the display industry

Creating an economical production environment for displays is a challenge. Machines and systems must comply with strict cleanroom regulations, achieve a high level of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), be space-saving and expandable - and all this with long travels of up to 16m. This is where products from igus come into play. Our cables and energy supply systems are made of high-performance plastics that are abrasion-resistant so that virtually no particles are released into the ambient air. They have a modular design, are easy to maintain and compact. Our products are used in machines and systems for pick & place tasks, glass cutting and panel production, among others.

The gripper head positions glass panes in the production process.
