It has been announced that Kranbau Köthen has built a crane with a lifting capacity of 500 tons and a special design whereby the weight distribution in two axes can be finely balanced using a special shaft end support. Here, signal and energy transmission take place via energy chains and cables from igus.

Special challenges require innovative solutions. This applies to the extendable support legs on many construction vehicles, such as concrete pump trucks or mobile cranes. Here, the safe guidance of hydraulic hoses and cables is critical as they supply the continuous power to the equipment, even under high mechanical stress and tough environmental conditions.

igus extends its readycable product finder online tool with integrated service life calculator to predict the lifetime of the cable.The tool enables designers, looking for highly flexible drive cables for energy chains, to select the required cable, from more than 4200 cable types, according to 24 manufacturer standards.

CAT5e or CAT6 cables are vital for the implementation of Industry 4.0 in automation around the world. The new igus chainflex CFBUS.045 (CAT5e) and CFBUS.049 (CAT6) Ethernet cables, have earned an enhanced UL listed mark for use in North America at 600V.

Oil rigs, gas production facilities, wind farms, port facilities or ship cranes: these applications have very special requirements for safe energy and data transmission. igus offers more than 370 DNV GL certified cables for use in maritime e-chains. Together with the DNV GL, igus has developed completely new test methods and standards for dynamic cables in e-chains.

The motion plastics specialist, igus, has added new sizes to its drylin W exchange range. In addition to size ten, the liners are available in sizes 16 and 20 for drylin W linear guides. Developed for quick replacement of liners in high-frequency applications, the liner can be replaced directly on the rail without dismantling the system.

Knowing that time strapped design and engineering teams rarely have the chance to venture out to shows and exhibitions, igus now pops in with products, samples, brochure and catalogues. With its mobile display, igus offers the opportunity for engineers to get to know the products that are interesting for them, at their own premises.

The motion plastics specialist, igus, has introduced sealing rings for its maintenance-free plain bearings to provide additional hygiene and protection against extreme dirt accumulation. The seals are available for all igus flanged bearings, making a wide range of application-related material combinations feasible.

Collaborative robots, or cobots, are mainly used as assistants in simple or interactive activities and, in contrast to large and fast industrial robots, work hand in hand with humans. That is why cobot and industrial robot service engineers are already using igus' multi-axis round triflex R e-chains. In addition to conventional metal clamps for industrial robots, igus has developed new plastic mounting clamps that attach the energy chain to the r...

Originally his background was in computer gaming, but now Richard ‘Bez’ Beston has become a well-known engineer, turned inventor, in Sunderland as he wants to bring manufacturing back to the North East.After having a successful career in computer gaming deign and even moving to the US to work, Bez said the gaming industry became more like the film industry so he was keen to move on. “I’m terrible once I have achieved somet...
