productCable range extended
igus has launched a range of cables for cable carrier applications that do not require high cycle rates. With a guaranteed service life of one million double strokes, the chainflex M range is a cost effective alternative for such applications.
productStructural tribo-filaments for 3D printing
Tribopolymer expert igus has developed a structural plastic filament for use in 3D printing. Developed for engineers wishing to create prototype bearings or small batch samples for real-world tests, the igus tribo-filament is said to be up to 50 times more wear resistant than conventional plastic materials used for 3D printing.
productBearings pass endurance test
To celebrate 30 years of iglidur materials and the 50th birthday of the company, igus has retrofitted a car’s conventional bearings with iglidur plain bearings and circumnavigated the globe, thus demonstrating the durable and robust nature of iglidur materials in some harsh environments – from dirt tracks to wet and humid locations.
productDirect drive robotic arms
Expanding its range of cost-effective modular robolink systems, igus has introduced the robolink D direct drive articulated arm – a version it says is tougher and more durable compared with remote drive solutions – supporting lean automation.
productOpen for entries
Polymer specialist igus is calling all design engineers to submit details of their latest plastic plain bearing applications for this year’s manus competition for a chance to win prize money of €5000.
