Power and data transmission installed in 1 hour

Horizontal travels ready for installation
No more complex trough construction - the E-Chain moves exactly in line on just one tensioned steel cable. And at a very reasonable price  incl. e-chain, 5 single-core cables, 1 bus cable as well as the steel cable and installation material.

▲ Tech up

• Energy, data, air and fluids in ONE system
• 4 m/s speed, 80 m travel

▼ Cost down

• 88 % shorter installation time compared to aluminium gutters

smart plastics

igus® smart plastics supplies products with different isense sensors, the icom evaluation module and the icom concept. plus components that measure operating states, announce necessary maintenance measures and also interrupt operation before any greater damage to equipment can occur.

Uninterruptible panel feed

e-spool flex 2.0 as igus variant of a cable drum
Cable diameters from 5 mm up to 15 mm can be used. The cable is always guided safely through a lead-through to ensure that it is always wound up properly.

▲ Tech up

• Universally mountable (on the floor, on the ceiling or on the wall)
• Space-saving

▼ Cost down

• No slip ring and cost-effective in case of repair

Put an end to unforeseen bearing damage

New plain bearing standard program for predictive maintenance
iglidur® isense plain bearings report their wear status in good time. If a bearing change is necessary, the system is notified.

▲ Tech up

• Avoidance of unforeseen breakdowns.
• Recognize and check maintenance requirements via remote diagnosis

▼ Cost down

• Shafts are protected against damage

Electrostatic dissipative SLS material

SLS powder for all common SLS systems and 3D printing service
Electrostatic dissipative SLS material for durable, abrasion-resistant 3D printing components. Ideal for applications in the electronics industry where ESD properties are essential to prevent damage to electronic components.

▲ Tech up

• Contact resistance 10^6 to 10^9 Ohm * cm
• Stiffness 60 % higher than in iglidur® I3

▼ Cost down

• Component black throughout, no additional colouring necessary

Modular control and software

igus® Robot Control for portals, robolink® and Delta robots
This set enables robolink®-D robot arms to control drylin® portals or delta robots. With the software, robots can be programmed and controlled via a graphical user interface.

▲ Tech up

• Programming and integration of robots for everyone
• Available in control cabinet or on top hat rail mounting

▼ Cost down

• Digital Twin Function

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) - now also for the e-chain

chainflex PUR bus cable with Single Pair Ethernet technology
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is the key to smart industrial automation. For the first time, this enables uniform, space and cost-efficient Ethernet communication, including the "last meter" from the cloud to the control cabinet to the machine.

▲ Tech up

• Continuous Ethernet communication including the "last meter" from the control cabinet to the machine possible
• 25% thinner cable to CAT5e, with same data transmission rate

▼ Cost down

• 25% smaller installation space possible compared to CFBUS.PUR.045
• 20% cost saving compared to 4-pair CAT5e cable (CFBUS.PUR.045)

Pull-out trays made easy
