Modern plastic energy chains are the umbilical cord of the automation, machine and plant engineering industries. These energy chains ensure the safe supply of energy, data, pulses and operating media and are always in motion. energy chains are suitable for multipurpose use in the crane and machine tool industries and in the robotics and clean room industries.
The ”roboLoop“ system itself offers manyways to optimise the fabrication sequences.
The rail & Tracking systems are used whereverfast camera movements are an important factor as, for example, at sport competitions,but also at many popular events such as concerts, stage shows, etc.
This OpenHydro tidal turbine generates electrical power through the inflow and outflow of water.
This telescope has been installed on theCanary Island of La Palma and registersthe gamma rays that strike the earth fromouter space.
A solution for media elevators previously unavailable in the market has now beenrealised with igus® e-chain systems®.
The door systems in this application guaranteethat the temperatures prescribed for the productand storage of perishable products, such asfood, are strictly observed.
Because the intended place ofuse for the energy and the control system is variable and may be situated at a height of10 metres.
This application showed that a vertical stroke of more than one metre and a swivellingrange of 270° can be implemented in the limited installation space of the grinding headin a gear-grinding machine.
Theenergy chain was installed on an injection moulding tool so thatno additional space is necessary in horizontal direction forthe unreeling movement.
In the case of this industrial robot, a rigid pipe between the 3rd and 6th axis wasreplaced by a multidimensional, flexible triflex® R energy chain.
Several igus® energy chains are used here, including one mounted vertically with a reverse bend radius.
This drill is used in extremely demanding offshore environments and uses continuous-flex cables from igus®
For this application, aircraft engine parts arewelded together.
This laser distance-measuring telescopeuses four igus® energy chains of the triflex® R series.
The ”Virtu“ large-format printer can be used to print almost anything: sheetmetal, foils, textiles, wood, glass, and, of course, also paper in widths up3.5 metres.
In the case of these robots, the hosepackage had to be replaced very fewweeks.
This newly developed stern thruster helps sailboats during difficult manoeuvres such as, for example, passages through locks;but because of its high performance, it can also be used as a main drive unit.
Medical students and physicians can practise diverse vascular surgicalinterventions on this device.
Very high accelerations proved an enormous challenge for the design engineers of this robot.
This newly developed gas-fired furnace only requires onethirdof the usual time to heat up rollers in the steel industry
Sawdust is also not a problem for igus® energy chains.
Almost daily failures of this inclined hoist in the URBIS art centre in the Manchester citycentre have become a thing of the past with the deployment of the igus® energy chain.
This height-adjustable speaker’s desk is very flexible in its features.
In the case of machine tools, thetrend is also going in the directionof compactness.
A multidimensional triflex® R cable carrier is used here to manage and protect the cables.
The special feature of thisapplication is the hot chips produced during the machining process, which do not stick tothe igus® energy chain and therefore extremely reduce the maintenance expenditure as a result.
The cable carrier on this drilling machine must withstand extreme vibrations and dirt.
In the case of this application, the worksafety was increased by integrating theenergy supply system into the body of thepallet changer.
Until recently, you could not purchase a solution anywhere in the world for this application.
Extremely fast laser-welding-robot
Cable carriers and continuous-flex cables for belt-driven automatic gates
After its completion, this giant telescope in Arizona(USA) will look deep into our universe; the two mainmirrors each have diameter of 8.4 metres.
In the case of this adhesive resin system, a lifting platform moves upwardto a height three or four times a day to empty barrels with a volume ofapprox. 200 litres.
Parts can be machined in one go with this new CNC grinding machinebecause it is equipped with two grinding heads on one rotating shaft.
An System E6 energy chain cable carrier speeds up the wafer handling process in this chip production plant.
Measuring and regulating system in the area of blown film extrusion
This portal milling machine is used to manufacture points forrailway networks
Dismantling tool for nuclear power plant decommissioning
In this application, foodstuffs are weighed for thepreparation of convenience food.
In this paint-spraying machine, sensors aremoved over minimum space.
