igus has launched a cable with individual conductors designed to withstand high levels of torsion in all three dimensions. The robot-suitable cable is ideal for robotic and other applications, such as rotary tables or spindle drives that must be supplied with high power levels.

One year after its launch, the EPLAN Data Portal has had 4.5 million downloads. This web-based portal delivers around 100,000 items of the latest tested and certified component and device data from numerous leading component manufacturers, thereby giving users an extra productivity boost.

The igus pickchain is a new concept of conveyor chain. It has ‘intelligent’ links that can have actuators such as suction cups, grippers, tools, sensors and cameras attached to them which can be individually programmed. The pickchain integrates cable and hose supplies which give the necessary energy and data for the intelligence.

Following a series of representative in-house tests carried out over a period of two years, igus UK, the energy chain and cable specialist, now certifies that its Chainflex CF11 and CF211 series can operate reliably and safely in smaller bending radii. The permissible bending radius for the CF11 TPE measuring system cable has been reduced by 32 percent from 10x diameter to 6.8xd, and that of the CF211PVC variant by 25 percent from 10xd to 7.5xd. ...

Energy chain expert igus UK has specialised in plastic energy chains since 1971 and, through material and technological advancements, is the market leader in this field.

Guide troughs are used to enable energy chain to glide smoothly and securely over travel lengths stretching from 5 metres and upwards, depending on the type of chain used.

igus® now offers lubrication-free polymer ball bearings. According to the company, more and more customers were asking for maintenance-free solutions using roller bearings. Therefore, igus decided to fill the gap where standard materials were not effective by putting to good use its 20 years experience in tribologically optimised polymers and in-house test laboratory.

Located at the Victory Plaza in Dallas, Texas, just outside the American Airlines Centre, You’ll find an oversized moving-screen LCD display, visible to everyone passing by. The Belgian Barco Group, a leading designer and developer of solutions for large-screen visualization have developed the display with eight 26ft screens. Robust igus® “E4/4” Energy Chains of the series 4040 with “Chainflex” fibre-optic cables, motor and control cab...

Energy chain systems not only transport energy, data and media to machines and systems. They also influence their energy consumption costs. How much pull-push force, or driving force, is required at a given speed to move an energy chain? How light or stable do energy chains have to be for minimum energy to be consumed? Modern plastic energy chains and Chainflex® cables from igus UK, help in the design and operation of machines that are efficient...

igus (UK) has announced it is giving away free cable carrier and continuous-flex cable samples as part of its newly-launched Sample Test Drive Program.
