Around the world, the number of dry cleanrooms is increasing. The main focus is on automating the systems to ensure fast and cost-effective production. In addition to its certified energy chains suitable for dry cleanrooms, igus has now also had its halogen-free chainflex TPE cables successfully certified by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation

The design of a cable guide system for cleanrooms, also referred to as Clean Cable, is complex: it is necessary to take numerous requirements into account, select suitable cables and create technical drawings. This process requires expert knowledge and has so far involved a lot of time and manual effort. This is exactly where igus comes into play with the new e-skin flat configurator. Users can design a flat cable guide system...

A design engineer of a packaging machine has been assigned a new task: replacing all plastic components with versions that do not use the chemical group PFAS. They might be more strictly regulated in future as they represent a potential burden for people and nature. The conversion is intended to ensure future legal certainty. But...

The demand for electric cars and the use of AI are growing, so that more and more lithium-ion batteries and microchips are required. As these technologies have to deliver performance that continues to increase, they are also becoming more sensitive and place high demands on production environments.

gus is launching a new resin for 3D printers that is PTFE-free and has been successfully tested for the 96 critical PFAS: iglidur i2000 is ideal for 3D printing of moving and friction-loaded components, such as gears in medical devices. Compared to standard resins, the new material has a wear rate that is up to 122 times better.

4-year guarantee on reliable performance: new chainflex cables for stage technology

Fail-safe, cost-effective, unobtrusive: with the chainflex CFSPECIAL.381 series, igus offers new cables for the special requirements of moving theatre and stage technology

Cables in theatre and stage technology have to work hard.

With the new pull-e-cable design study, igus is presenting a particularly low-profile and cost-efficient solution for guiding cables over long travels - without the need for a classic energy chain. The system is ideal for applications with limited installation space and a low budget, for example in camera technology, laboratories, moveable displays or automation.

Plastic specialist igus receives the prestigious Systems & Components Trophy - Engineers' Choice Award from the German Agricultural Society (DLG). The ReBeL cobot - a compact, cost-efficient robot arm that sets new standards for automation in agriculture - won the award.

Autonomous mobile robot from igus promises simple configuration with flexible superstructures and easy commissioning
Pressure in terms of costs and efficiency demands a lot from modern production.

In addition to energy chains, igus now also offers ball bearings made of abrasion-resistant high-performance plastics for cleanrooms. The new polymer bearings in the xiros series already fulfil the highest requirements of cleanroom production.
