Energy chains are used in production equipment, robots and tooling machines to guide and protect cables and hoses. Sometimes vibration can occur on the support channel and at the towing arm during the movement. The laboratory for tooling machines (WZL) and business operations RWTH Aachen carried out a study: vibration investigations on energy chains. The results were that the E6 energy chain from igus® stood out due to minimum vibration and maxi...

The Northampton based igus has been awarded the title Supplier of the Year 2008 in the category Crisis Management by the machine and plant engineering company IMA Klessmann. igus has been a partner to the woodworking systems specialist for more than 18 years’ now, and equips CNC machining centres with energy chains and specialist cables. The company delivers both individual components and completely harnessed ReadyChain® energy supply systems...

igus has announced its engineers are available once again this year to examine energy chains and flexible cables free of charge before or during factory shutdowns in July and August.

The igubal system provides design engineers with a complete range of self-aligning bearings that are made completely of tribo-optimised plastic. The type series from the bearings specialist igus (UK) comprises of rod end bearings, flange, pivoting and pedestal bearings, as well as ball and socket joints. In many cases, the maintenance-free bearings replace metallic components. Up to 80% of the weight can be saved and the parts give excellent vibr...

For many years now, igus has been using the Internet to distribute and support its products globally. What started on a small scale about ten years ago has rapidly developed into an extensive online range. Today, the online shop comprises of around 80,000 different products with access to information and ordering that is currently available in 16 languages, catering for international customers.

igus have expanded their range by introducing lubrication-free flange and pedestal bearings with plastic ball bearings. The new xiros polymer ball bearings with angular compensation were developed for maintenance-free use in conveyer belts, track rollers and deflection rollers. The light, corrosion-free and anti-magnetic bearings do not need any oil or grease, and compensate alignment errors caused by deflection and/or tolerances. Potential appli...

igus has recently expanded the new “xiros” plastic ball bearing range. The positive feedback from customers’ has resulted in the xiros maintenance-free polymer ball bearings becoming an independent product line. The name xiros is derived from the Ancient Greek xsiros which means dry, and ball bearings for lubricant-free dry running. The inner and outer rings are manufactured in two further materials and there are additional dimensions avail...

Reinforced plastic cable carriers from energy chain specialist igus were selected by GÜDEL to help minimise downtime across its range of automated systems. The cable carriers guide and protect moving cables and hoses in systems ranging from multi-axis robots and press-transfer systems, to factory-automation equipment and gantry robots.

Linear technology expert igus has developed a completely new breed of hybrid linear bearing that both rolls and slides. Called DryLin WJRM, this innovative bearing system reduces driving force significantly and is particularly well-suited to applications that combine sliding and rolling movements, such as manually adjustable doors, guards, partitions and locks, as well as for light handling tasks.

Opening up completely new directions for machine construction, igus UK has developed the world’s first continually rotating energy. Rotating all the way around, the igus C-Chain can supply grippers, sensor systems and other units with energy, data and media without superfluous start and return runs. Each position can now be directly approached in a continual movement, where loading and unloading, adhesion, drilling etc. can then take place.
