The renowned Belgian brewery Chimay, known for its traditional Trappist beer, relies on maintenance-free spherical bearings from igus in its bottling plant.

Every year, several million tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans. Around 1,600 rivers wash most of it into the sea. Plastic waste destroys marine ecosystems and contributes to the loss of biodiversity.

Bikes instead of cars: for the mobility transition to work, cities need more parking facilities without encroaching too much impact on the cityscape. For this purpose, the Japanese manufacturer Giken has built a garage called Eco Cycle,

igus single-core motor cables made of copper-coated aluminium reduce weight by 40 percent.

Whether sludge processing in a port or raw material extraction in a copper mine, energy chains that reliably protect cables even under challenging conditions are particularly in demand on long routes, and enormous weights are moved, so particularly high driving forces are necessary.

Light and flexible rotating energy supply ensures gentle cable guidance to the gripper

Pick & place robots are playing an increasingly important role in automated processes, for example on assembly lines. With its EXPT, the automation specialist Festo offers a highly precise and dynamic solution for this.
