igus has produced drylin T, a range of robust linear guide systems that are chip and debris resistant, maintenance free and 100% lubrication free. The products smooth running design consists of six sliding pads made from the iglidur J plastic bearing material, and a rail and carriage made from aluminium, with the rail being hard anodised.
igus UK has presented its vector awards to two British engineering companies – UK Astronomy Technology Centre and Xograph Healthcare – for the challenging and innovative use of cable carrier systems.
An instrument designed by engineers and scientists at the UK Astronomy Technology Centre has been shipped to the Atacama Desert of northern Chile for use in one of the European Southern Observatories Very Large Telescopes (VLT). When combined, the four telescopes make one of the worlds most advanced optical instruments. The KMOS (Kband multi-object spectrometer) will be used to investigate physical and environmental processes that shape the evolution of galaxies.
igus is holding its sixth biennial manus competition for innovative plastic bearing applications.
With increased demands for industrial plants to operate more efficiently, managers are reviewing the communications and cabling systems used throughout their facilities.
igus UK has produced a costeffective modular rack for quick transportation and installation of pre-installed energy chain cable carrier systems. The new rack can be used for safely mounting and transporting an entire pre-configured energy chain system directly and precisely to the customers machine interface.
igus UK says its plastic linear and plain bearings with their chip, dirt and dust resistant capabilities are increasingly used in the machine tools sector.
In this article Justin Leonard, director at igus UK, reviews how fibre optic cables, particularly those used in dynamic applications, are helping plant managers to operate their factories more efficiently
