Automation has seen a rapid increase in usage in recent years across a multitude of industries. From
packaging and
automotive to
medical & laboratory and
food &
beverage, automation - and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) specifically - have become essential in saving both time and money. When it comes to transporting goods and materials quickly and reliably, AGVs are the best solution.
At igus®, we offer a wide range of bearings and components for your AGVs, from
plastic plain bearings and
slewing rings, to
linear actuators and
motors. Each of these products, and the many more not listed above, use our
self-lubricating plastics. These provide numerous advantages over their metal counterparts, including clean, grease-free operation at a lighter weight and reduced volume. For a number of these parts, we offer a variety of material types, including FDA-compliant and versions resistant to high temperature and/or chemicals. If you are looking for a fully assembled robot, please visit our
