Energy chains for protecting moving cable assemblies in cranes can be damaged by foreign objects like loose tools, causing costly system failures. This prompted igus to develop a new push/pull force monitoring system. The EC.PR system records the precise force values of the moving end and adjusts the force limits, preventing potentially catastrophic damage to the crane and expensive repairs.

Animals and birds can adjust the power and position of their grip in many ways to suit their needs. Industrial applications tend to be binary in comparison; mechanical grippers used for attaching lids to jars, for example, have very restricted, 'closed/open' dexterity. When a new product is introduced, a new gripper to match that product can take weeks to design and manufacture.

For safe cable guidance in unsupported and long travels, igus has developed the E4Q energy chain. The bionically inspired design saves weight, while crossbars with locking tabs reduces the assembly time of the e-chain by 40%. To facilitate assembly further, igus has launched a new interior separation system for the E4Q. Universal separators are placed on the chain crossbars, shelves can be inserted from the left or right, along either the inner o...

The world’s firsthybridchain is now available in two new sizes - designed by igusfor construction machinery and lifting equipment.TheseYE hybrid chains, made of polymer and steel, are 50% lighter than conventional steelchainsand can safely move large hydraulic hoses and high fill weights vertically on both mobile crane platforms and construction machinery.

An industrial robotics company is continuing to breathe new life into old robots - thanks to a newly designed product from igus. The global manufacturer ofenergy chain systemsandpolymer plain bearings, igus, was asked for a control panel cable management system by the team from robotics company, ARAGON.

Sheet metal and metallic parts in food processing are regularly exposed to friction and wear. igus has developed a new coating material to increase the service life of these components, by reducing friction and wear. The IC-05 tribo-polymer protects sensitive and small bearing points as well as sliding surfaces, it is coloured blue for high visibility and is approved for use in manufacturing by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

Telescopic slides are used within all kinds of applications, from kitchens, furniture to aircraft and automotive.

Volunteers at the St Albans Head Coastwatch Station are keeping people safe - thanks to a special pair of binoculars and a gift fromigus.The station, based along Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, received some much-needed help from igus.

This weeks Video of the Week shows how easy the igus module connect 'plug and play' system really is!

A new elastic double joint fromigusis proving to be a perfect - and quiet - solution for the machine building sector.The igubalGPZMcoupling joint, which was officially launched at the end of 2020, is lubrication-free, maintenance-free and 20% more flexible than its conventional alternative.
