The metal processing industry has relied on industrial safety engineering from Euchner for decades. Highlights at this year’s EMO include the latest communicating safety guard locking devices, the new CTS compact guard locking device, and the CTA safety switch for harsh environments. Euchner will also be showcasing its versatile new CKS2 key system for machines and installations. The proven MGB2 Modular for safety doors is now available for EtherCAT/FSoE as well.

Mobile robotic systems are being used in more and more work areas, from e-commerce warehouses to modern restaurants. However, widespread use is often unaffordable for small and medium-sized companies due to the high prices. igus wants to change this with new low-cost robotics offerings and is presenting a series of low-cost mobile plastic robots.

snapchain 2.0: small, compact and cost-effective energy supply system

The new igus energy chain made entirely of recyclate can be installed in seconds and guides cables reliably available from Treotham.

igus develops a two-component injection-moulded plain bearing for high mechanical loads

Play before you pay: Virtually configure the ReBeL in the iguversum, the new igus digital tool and control it remotely – just one of many options that will make it even easier for igus robotics users to get started with Low Cost Automation in the future.

Acting sustainably is deeply embedded in the LAPP DNA. This is increasingly reflected in the product portfolio: With the ETHERLINE® FD P Cat. 5e the LAPP portfolio already includes a cable with a sheath made from a bio-based TPU jacket material.

The more dynamic the industries become, the more the need to simplify electrical connection processes increase to keep up with this continuous evolution. In this scenario, fast and safe handling is significant especially when speaking about demanding applications, while easy-to-use products help to minimize the risk of error at all the phases.

chainflex cables do not use PTFE and PFAS chemicals, guaranteed with the "PFAS-free" seal

Like the chemicals of the PFAS family, certain polytetrafluoroethylene compounds - PTFE for short - are considered "forever chemicals" and therefore potentially harmful to the environment, people and animals. The European Union is therefore working on a ban on the substances.

iglidur i230: first igus 3D printing material for polymer components that withstands temperatures of up to 110°C 3D-printed polymer components will be able to resist much higher temperatures in future - in the engine.

igus launches new compact, low-cost energy  

By downsizing, the draw e-chain saves 30 per cent of costs in applications with a low degree of movement.
