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.

Servomotors are used wherever high-precision drives are required. They enable the exact control of angular positions, speed and acceleration and are therefore used in particular in industrial automation, for example in the control of axes in CNC machines, robots and conveyor belts, but also in production or the automotive industry. 

Enhanced Detection with Blue Light Technology
Wenglor introduces its latest wintec sensors equipped with blue laser light. Because blue light has a shorter wavelength, it penetrates surfaces less deeply than conventional red light. This results in exceptionally stable detection performance—even on challenging materials such as dark, 

When machines communicate with each other, robots perform precise movements or wind turbines feed electricity into the grid, it is often powerful connections in the background that make everything possible: such as EPIC® connectors from LAPP.

At this year's SPS, LAPP, a leading provider of integrated solutions in the field of cable and connection technology, will be showcasing the high value of its EPIC® connectors with its own booth in Hall 10, Booth 322. From high-current solutions to innovative push-pull systems, visitors will be able to see the diversity of solutions for themselves.

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.

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.
