In this video, we see how igus’ smart plastics are being integrated into warehouses. For the first time, smart chainflex cables monitor the health of linear guide systems, cables and energy chains continuously. This valuable data is collected and analysed to give warehouse operators timely warnings for maintenance or repair, ensuring unscheduled and costly shutdowns are eliminated. This added intelligence also brings new possibilities to extend product service life.

Intelligent monitoring of moving cables
This video from igus demonstrates the CF.Q module, which monitors the health of bus cables in e-chains after the warranty period expires and recommends maintenance or replacement in good time. Just one part of the smart plastic range, the system provides early alarms even for the smallest changes in transmission characteristics – this avoids unscheduled system shutdowns as well as the associated high costs.

How fast does the drylin delta robot operate?
In this video, we see the igus drylin delta robot in a PCB assembly application. The three NEMA stepper motors and encoders driving the belt axes ensure a pick rate of at least 60 per minute with a precision of ±0.5mm. The complete system, which is available directly from stock as a kit or delivered pre-assembled ready to install, has an installation space of up to 420mm in diameter.
