When igus visits customers or exhibit at trade shows, it now takes more than free product samples. Using its VR glasses, the company instantly transport you to its factory to explore the world’s largest test lab for tribopolymers.

What innovative ideas do you have to automate your business? igus invites you to enter the 2020 ROIBOT awards for clever return-on-investment ideas with robots.

The Gadget Show wanted to have a robot involved in the celebrations of its 400th episode, so the Producer/Director gave igus a call.

Guiding power, data and media in confined spaces at high speeds is a major challenge for many OEMs, in particular for intralogistics. With the micro flizz, igus offers a compact energy guidance system for travels up to 100 metres.

‘Industry 4.0’, ‘Internet of Things’ and ‘Smart Factory’ – these concepts are no longer a vague promise of what is to come. Instead of planning maintenance at fixed intervals or reacting to failures or faults, continually monitoring the health of a machine enables predictive maintenance. Repair or replacement is then only carried out whenever it is actually necessary. At the same time, unscheduled shutdowns and the associated costs can be eliminated.

The drylin delta robot is now on tour; there are live performances at business venues up and down the UK and Ireland, from Aberdeen to Bristol and Dublin to Galway. Last week, skilled igus engineers toured Yorkshire and Leeds, demonstrating the drylin delta robot as a low-cost automation solution for repetitive tasks, such as pick and place, simple assembly, and inspection tasks.

Tensile forces acting on the cables within an e-chain system can significantly reduce the service life. The CF.P system picks up any excess forces at the strain relief section and indicates the need for action in a timely manner.

In this eggs-cellent video, we see a drylin delta robot in final preparations for Easter. The cost-effective and lightweight modular system can be used for the most delicate of pick-&-place tasks, even collecting Easter eggs.
