Due to its lifting solutions for commercial vehicle and marine applications, the Palfinger brand has become synonymous with innovation and reliability, the company has sites across the continents including Europe, North and South America, and Asia, as well as over 4,500 sales and service centres located in over 130 countries across five continents.

The robolink D 5-axis articulated arms are offered from igus as an assembly kit consisting of arm, motor and gearbox, or now as a ready-to-connect articulated arm, enabling machine and system builders to rapidly implement their own low-cost robotic automation systems.

Guaranteed temperature ratings for all chainflex cables operating in fixed and moving applications are now provided by igus, as well as for cables in energy chains.The announcement follows the installation of a second climatic test chamber during the company’s recent test lab extension in Cologne, Germany.

The iglidur A181 material from igus can now be ordered online in more than 110 dimensions up to 50mm diameter, with or without flange, with no minimum order quantity.

Enhancing the E4.1 modular e-chain system, igus provides a solution for guiding corrugated tube in parallel.Named E4.1 TUB, the new side sections of the outer links have a clip that enables PMAClips to be easily attached. In this way, a corrugated tube can be routed in parallel to an energy chain quickly and without tools.

With the drylin ZLW modular system, igus offers even more versatility and designing freedom for engineers - widths, rail distances and materials of the ready-to-install axes can be assembled according to your requirement.“Ready to install linear robots are becoming very popular in machine and plant manufacturing,” said Robert Dumayne, Director, igus.

igus has announced it offers a service to 3D print injection mould tools, enabling fast and cost effective production of custom parts. This new service complements a range of products and services igus now offers across the design, prototyping, testing and manufacturing cycle.

Two new robotic ‘bundles’, which contain all of the components required to build a four-axis robotic arm and will bring the efficiency and reliability of robotic solutions to a far wider audience have been released by RS Components (RS). Users benefit from the functional capabilities of a robotic solution, and the bundles also offer significant cost savings versus buying the individual parts separately.

The TRLF family from igus has been extended to include a 125mm nominal diameter e-chain, in addition to existing 65, 87.5 and 100mm internal diameter sizes. These TRLF energy chains are well suited for robotics and other applications that require electrical power cables, data cables and hoses to remain secure and protected during multi-axis movement.

A house made by a 3D printer could one day be a reality. The façade of the ‘Europa-Haus’ in the Amsterdam Marine Quarter, built for the duration of the Dutch Presidency of the EU, was partly constructed in this way.Based in Amsterdam, DUS Architects have used a mobile 3D printer in extra-extra-large (XXL) format, which is housed in a shipping container. For the construction of the building, the architects worked closely with th...
