In order for solar panels to efficiently generate energy, solar park operators rely on movable modules that automatically align themselves according to the sun's position, ensuring a high energy yield. Specifically for storing the modules on square profiles, igus has developed the igubal upright bea…

You redirect films or labels: roller conveyors with ball bearings. Previously used mainly in clear anodized aluminum, the new black redirect roller from igus now provides a real eye-catcher in packaging and labeling technology. The ready-to-install system not only impresses visually but also technic…

By increasing the voltage to 300V, users can now place the chainflex bus cables directly next to lines with a higher voltage level. Previously, according to the requirements of the testing organization UL, all cables with different voltage classes had to be laid separately. With the increased and UL…

For quick configuration of spindle linear modules, igus has developed the "SHT Designer". With this online tool, drylin SHT linear axes can be customized to your liking. This saves the user time on complex design work. In a live webinar on June 16 and 18, participants can see for themselves how easy…

In semiconductor manufacturing, components such as energy chains and cables must meet the highest standards regarding particle emission. To develop new cleanroom-compatible motion plastics more quickly, Fraunhofer IPA has designed and implemented a tailored cleanroom laboratory with an ISO Class 1 c…

For safe production in the electronics and semiconductor industry, components are required that possess electrostatically dissipative properties. Because even a small electric shock can destroy expensive production runs. To enable users to produce their wear parts with ESD properties flexibly and co…

Protection of medical personnel is currently one of the most important challenges. However, suitable equipment is not readily available in sufficient quantity and quality on the market. One solution includes face shields, which individuals and companies are currently manufacturing worldwide using 3D…

In the current situation, many companies are limiting visits from external visitors. An easy alternative is offered by igus with its virtual visit: assembly aids and drawings, as well as machine tours, interactive presentations for designers, buyers, and other stakeholders, are possible via the web…

Lubrication-free, lightweight, and durable: these qualities characterize the new drylin NT-60 telescopic rail from igus. It allows, for example, in medical technology or laboratory automation, drawers up to 2,000 millimeters long to be pulled out quietly and without lubrication. For this, igus relie…
