Plastic solutions for sheet metal working and processing

igus® lasts longer in dirt & heat

An important factor in the sheet metal working is precision coupled with robust design.
For example:
Accurate positioning in sheet metal processing, tough and enclosed e-chain system® for cable protection, and clip-in designs for bearings in sheet metal stampings.
The igus® e-chain system® and plain bearings are made of tribo-optimized high performance polymers and have a long service life - they increase the durability of your machines and reduce costs.

We'd be glad to help you with our solutions for sheet metal working.
