Plastic parts for the machine tools industry

Components in machine tools are exposed to rough operating conditions. Hot chips significantly compromise the service life of cables and cable carriers. Over time, this leads to machine failure and, as a result, expensive downtime. For every challenge in the machining industry, igus offers  lab-tested solutions that increase your machinery’s reliability and reduce maintenance frequency. These solutions include cable carriers and cables for use in CNC machining centers, milling machines or grinding machines, and maintenance-free and dry-running plastic bearings used in door-adjusting mechanisms in machine tools. Smart plastics from igus can also be used in machine tools to avoid unforeseen failures and plant shutdowns.  For more information, browse customer applications and our Engineer's Toolbox.
