Developed over two years ago, the EPLAN Data Portal integrates around 120,000 pieces of component and device data from numerous component manufacturers. The number of manufacturers and components is permanently increasing and the portal itself is continually being updated. Following the launch of the EPLAN Platform 2.0, the new EPLAN Data Portal 2.0 has now gone live. Users are enjoying new time-saving functions in the web-based portal that make ...

igus® has now developed a new maintenance-free linear unit, “DryLin® EasyTube, for format adjustments. This completely lubrication-free, extremely compact and lightweight system consists of just six individual parts: the leadscrew, tube, two clamping rings, an attachment flange and slide block. The system is available ex-stock with a diameter of 12, 25 or 30 mm.

One feature of Lightweight Medical’s “Neo-Capsul” incubator is the enclosed bed, which slides right out to enable a baby to be reintubated: a frequent procedure absolutely critical to the survival chances of a baby.

UMC International designed polymer plain bearings into a new boat hull cleaning machine for use by underwater divers. The bearings require no lubrication and are impervious to corrosion and salt water. The Hampshire based company manufacture hydraulically powered hull cleaning machines, which typically have two rotating brushes. The vehicles can be powered forward or reversed, steered and the brushes raised and lowered on a gimbal mechanism. The...

igus has now developed a system called Guidelok, designed to keep an energy chain inside a guide trough, even at heights of 80 metres.

The machine tool industry in the UK holds a key position in general mechanical engineering. Everything from space telescopes to toy trains, from artificial hip joints to mobile phones are manufactured directly or indirectly using machine-tools. The focus is increasingly on cost reduction driven by competition from the Far East. With their tailored parts and systems, especially pre-harnessed energy supply systems (“ReadyChain”), igus UK gives ...

Plastic corrugated tubes used in robotic applications can bend and tear because they cannot absorb torsional movements very well. Energy chain experts igus® have already developed the Triflex R; a multi-dimensional energy chain system with complete freedom of movement in the X-, Y- and Z-axes. Now, there is a new universal module available called Triflex RS especially for robotic applications in cramped conditions. The system guides the energy c...

With the development of the roller energy chain more than 10 years ago, igus® has successfully designed a safe solution for the transmission of energy and data for cranes. Since then, energy chain systems have been proving their abilities in even the toughest of crane applications the world over. Since 2006, the numbers of large shipyard cranes being equipped with energy chains from igus® has run into double figures. In June 2008, the 375th shi...

DryLin R linear plain bearings from igus UK are free from lubrication, robust and corrosion-resistant. The linear bearings with highly wear-resistant polymers are replacing metallic bushings in many cases. Maintenance intervals are shortened, service life increased.
