Titan II, RS Components innovation truck will be rolling into The Big Bang UK Young Scientists & Engineers Fair at the NEC, Birmngham (14-17 March). RS will, for the first time, join key supporters of the show including the Army, Royal Navy, BBC Learning and the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET).

Contract manufacturer of cosmetic products, Carecos Kosmetik has its own packaging machines and, for each new product being packaged, develops a specific gripper to pick up the lid and screw it onto the bottle. Previously an elaborate machining process was used to make the gripper from aluminium. Not only did that cost up to €10,000 per part, it also took six weeks to manufacture.

igus has announced it has fitted its 1,000th ship-to-shore (STS) crane with an energy chain system. For these long travels, rolling energy chains (rol e-chains) are used to maximise service life, while minimising drive power. They can also be combined with the new isense modules to measure the movement and wear of the energy chain system – this enables the replacement date for components to be predicted during ongoing operation and fail-saf...

When it comes down to 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, you would like to think you’ve seen it all. However igus have produced a video which includes 5 things you would never have guessed were 3D printed.

Helping a team of students meet the demanding requirements of a smart drill measuring system used to fix bone fractures, the iglidur plain bearings from igus have the ability that the project needs. The combination of rotary drive and axial vibration required the use of high-quality plain bearings not only to implement freedom of movement in the axial direction, but also to achieve the most accurate signals possible at high vibration frequencies.

TheFitoStinger drone was developed foreffective pest control as it canoften be difficult, especially if surrounding areas must not be affected.The lightweight design is partly attributed to motion plastics from igus that include the extremely light drylin linear guide made of carbon.

Held in the Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Centre, this year’s Subsea Expo will see igus showcasing its vast range of products and systems for subsea applications, at the event taking place from the 7-9th February.Visitors to the stand (stand 105) will see the giant E4 energy chain that can withstand exposure to ice, wind, storms, salt water, oil and drilling mud. It can also bear heavy loads and features easy-to-remove crossbars so c...

The the iglidur H1 material has been added to igus’ knife edge roller range for conveyor applications for higher travel speeds, thus expanding its range to include a total of four materials.Plastic knife edge rollers are used wherever smooth, lubricant-free transfer of transported goods onto downstream conveyors is desired.

Taking place from 9th-13th April at the NEC in Birmingham, this year’s MACH exhibition will see igus showcasing a wide range of cost-effective, lightweight and maintenance-free bearings and cable management systems for a variety of engineering applications.Developed to combine the advantages of the E2/000 and E4.1 energy chains in one product range, the E4.1L ‘lean’ features interior clip in slotted separators that provide up to...

At this year’s Southern Manufacturing, 6-8thFebruary at FIVE, Farnborough, igus will showcase a wide range of cost-effective, lightweight and maintenance-free bearings and cable management systems for a variety of engineering applications.
