3D printing, CNC production or injection moulding? When design engineers are looking for the most suitable manufacturing process for a customised component, they often lose

Gears are at the heart of many mechanical systems. They drive machines, make precise movements in robots possible and are indispensable in gearboxes and vending machines. Customised and durable gears are increasingly in demand.

If a conveyor belt in the woodworking industry breaks down due to a defective flange mounted bearing, every second costs money. To reduce assembly work by up to 80% in such an emergency,

From service robotics to medical technology to vehicle equipment: consumers are getting used to automated motion systems. To realise them in confined installation spaces, igus has developed the new, low-maintenance and electric telescopic extension drylin NTM-45.

Safety in battery production due to long-term tests: new dry-cleanroom certificates for igus e-chains

E6, e-skin flat, e-skin soft and easy chain E14 prove their suitability for dry cleanrooms in the Fraunhofer IPA's long-term test

PROFINET/PROFIdrive integration and fast cycle times of the D1 allow for reliable and flexible control systems for motors in various automation applications

igus increases the flexibility of its D1 motor control, which designers use for electric linear drives, handling systems and robot axes. It is now possible to integrate the D1 seamlessly and quickly into higher-level control systems from Siemens, Beckhoff, Wago and

Material scientists have developed PTFE-free versions of the most popular iglidur plain bearing materials. igus is announcing a breakthrough: the material developers in Cologne have succeeded in producing the established polymer plain bearings from the iglidur G, iglidur X and iglidur H series.

Manufacturing can be a rollercoaster ride at times - just for some businesses, that is a lot more literal. Dreamworld on the Gold Coast is one of Australia’s leading theme parks, with millions of visitors a year, drawn by state-of-the-art attractions such as the Sky Voyager flying theatre and the Steel Taipan launched coaster.

The French company SCALLOG has developed an autonomous robot called "Boby" that can transport shelves weighing up to 600kg in logistics warehouses.

Seaports are under pressure worldwide: to remain competitive, terminals have to handle larger ships in shorter periods of time. Therefore, more and more operators use modern components such as igus's robust energy chains that are compatible with Industry 4.0.
