The Engineering Design Show will be returning to the Ricoh Arena, Coventry on the 18th and 19th October this year, and visitors will see igus on stand D20.igus will be hosting live demonstrations and showcasing advanced products and techniques that help eliminate waste from the manufacturing process, resulting in improved efficiency, effectiveness, and profitability.
Mobile robot makes aircraft inspection easy
When it comes to air travel, safety is extremely important, both on the ground and in the air. And it’s because of this that aircrafts are regularly inspected and maintained.An important item on the inspector’s checklist is looking for signs of corrosion and metal fatigue on the outer skin of the aircraft.
3D printing wear resistant parts for harsh environments
Expanding its range of wear-resistant tribo-filaments for 3D printing, igus has introduced the chemical-resistant iglidur C210.The company now offers a total of six different materials that are suitable for printing using the fused deposition modelling (FDM) method. Prototypes and small batches for even more applications - for example in contact with aggressive cleaning agents - can be implemented with this new solution.

Guidefast control system for the manual control of indoor cranes
Nowadays an increasing number of crane technology companies rely on modern cable guidance with energy chains.With the new guidefast control system, igus has now developed an energy supply system that can also feed a manual overhead crane pendant on indoor cranes. Quick and easy to assemble, the guidefast control needs only a small installation space and can be adapted to suit almost any crane application.
Aluminium support trays for energy chains in corrosive environments
When energy chains operate in 'unsupported' mode, support trays enable the lower run of the chain to roll smoothly and securely. In addition to galvanised steel and stainless steel trays, igus now offers a lightweight option made of anodised aluminiumfor use in corrosive environments.
Post-fitting angling of cable connectors
To offer engineers the opportunity to change a straight connector to an angled one in seconds igus has introduced the new ibow. To ensure operational reliability, the connector need not be removed from the cable – engineers can just slide it on, bend the cable, fix and it’s ready to use.
Rise in demand drives price down for 3D printed plastic parts
igus has announced that the base price of its iglidur i3‑PL selective laser sintering (SLS) material has been reduced by 30%, with a corresponding decrease in printed part price.Since its introduction a year ago, there has been a general rise in volume of the material due to overall demand.
