Large and mid-sized corporations alike are becoming more interested in automating tedious and repetitive tasks. We are still quite far, though, from fully automated processes and manufacturing and assembly still require some human interaction. It is estimated that collaborative robots are likely to account for nearly 35% of all industrial robots sold by 2025. igus […]
Harnessed energy supply systems help create revolutionary piece of technology
DMG MORI, a manufacturer of machine tools, has developed a new automatic turning machine with multiple spindles that represents a technological revolution in producing turned and milled parts in both boring and bar machining. After only two years of development, the company designed MultiSprint, which are multi-spindle automatic lathes that offer unlimited possibilities with enhanced […]
Updated chainflex M control cables save space and money
igus has introduced a new cable series that offers a thinner cable structure, saving on installation space, and ensures lower bend radii. The company’s advanced chainflex M cable series proves that quality and low price are not mutually exclusive. After four years of research, igus presented the new control cables – CF880/CF881 and CF890/CF891 – […]
igus unveils first plastic-steel hybrid energy chain
igus has developed the first plastic-steel hybrid energy chains for safe and compact vertical guidance of cables and hoses. The new energy supply system, called the YE.42, is 50% lighter than conventional steel chains due to the high-performance polymers manufactured by Germany-based igus. The company runs its North American operations out of Providence, R.I. The […]
Plane assembly takes swift flight with help from igus cable guides
A Spanish manufacturer is using industrial robots equipped with cable guides from igus for quick and efficient riveting of aircraft fuselages on one of the world’s most widely-used planes. LOXIN (ARITEX GROUP) relies on cable guides made of high-performance plastic manufactured by igus, the Germany-based manufacturer of motion plastics. The guides are used on the […]
Continuous flexing control cable and Profibus-DP cable
AutomationDirect now offers continuous flexing control cables and continuous flexing Profibus-DP cables that are designed to be exposed to constant flexing during operation and to withstand millions of flex cycles. These cables are available cut-to-length in one-foot increments with a 20-foot minimum length. igus CF130US and CF140US series tray rated control cables are specifically designed, […]
Readychain harnessed energy chains accelerate productivity for machine and plant builders
Machine and plant manufacturers can reduce production costs, improve efficiency and reduce potential sources of error from the start of the product life cycle by using readychains from igus, the Germany-based manufacturer of motion plastics. Readychain systems provide an economical and swift solution and are being used in thousands of applications around the globe. igus, […]
Mounting clamps ensure safety and easy energy chain assembly
igus has developed new plastic mounting clamps for energy chains on cobots that are easy to assemble and minimize risk, ensuring a safe interaction between humans and machines. Users of cobots and industrial robots are already using igus’ three-dimensional and round triflex R e-chains for energy and data supply. The plastic clamps can be quickly […]
Compact energy supply system guides date, energy in tight spaces
igus has introduced a compact energy supply system, consisting of an energy chain, flexible chainflex cables for tight bend radii, and an aluminum guide control, that allows users to guide data, media, fluids and air in the tightest of spaces at high speeds. The system, called micro flizz, can be used with igus’ new smart […]
High-performance cable polymer ensures safe, failure-free operation of VFD servodrives
To address the latest developments in frequency-controlled motors, the so-called VFDs (variable-frequency drives), show a clear trend: more compact design with the same or higher power with extremely high switching accuracy of the frequency converters. As a result, in the future the user not only has to pay attention to the right number of conductors […]
