Especially for highly sensitive cleanrooms, igus has expanded its e-skin flat series to include an ESD variant. The new material of the modular flat cable prevents electrostatic charging of the chain and at the same time ensures particle-free operation, even during the fastest movements. At the same…

igus introduces a new energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms: The Clean SCARA Cable Solution consists of tribologically optimized high-performance plastics and operates nearly particle-free even during high-speed applications according to ISO Class 2. Additionally, the system offers hig…

Whenever the highest hygiene standards are required, igus scores with maintenance-free and wear-resistant plastic components for movement. Especially the battery production for the mobility of tomorrow demands special environmental conditions, which are achieved through the combination of dry and cl…

Cleanroom-compatible energy chains of the e-skin flat series still meet the highest cleanroom class after 1.5 years of continuous use and 60 million double strokes. This conclusion is based on a test that is unique in the industry so far – conducted in a cleanroom laboratory built by the motion plas…

Societal change, responsibility towards the environment, and the altered handling of plastics are also leaving their mark on the industry. For customers who prioritize a more sustainable design of their moving applications, igus now offers an interesting alternative: four new materials made from rec…

Robots have long been an integral part of many areas of industrial manufacturing – and their range of tasks continues to expand with digitalization. Whether welding, painting, soldering, or palletizing: industrial robots work dynamically. A flexible 3D energy chain like the triflex R from igus makes…

Exciting innovations from young start-ups as well as established companies are emerging every day all over Germany. To bring both worlds together, promote groundbreaking developments, and jointly develop new technologies, igus provides financial backing to young entrepreneurs: The motion plastics sp…

With the T20 of the drylin W series, igus introduces a new linear slide that matches the dimensions of most traditional ball bearing guides. This allows for a quick 1:1 replacement – without any design modifications. Thanks to the use of drylin W, applications benefit from lubrication-free operation…

Whether in an industrial environment or in the coffee machine: To maximize the lifespan of a linear guide and keep the required drive energy low, it is essential to minimize friction and wear as much as possible. The motion plastics specialist igus has now achieved a breakthrough in tribological pla…

As a result of continuous research and development, igus is now introducing a novel two-component (2K) ball bearing. The maintenance-free and lubrication-free xiros bearing combines various properties: it is not only wear-resistant but also remains dimensionally stable and quiet even at high speeds…
