Concrete 3D Printer

Constructions-3D is a French manufacturer of 3D mortar/concrete printers for the construction industry. In the dusty environments these printers face, the grease-free and durable products from igus that are used are an optimal solution. An adjustable bearing makes it possible to adjust the tolerances during assembly, saving Constructions-3D valuable time during assembly and maintenance.

Field Drainage Machine

the PH1280 is a system that is assembled on a 3-point-coupling and can move large rolls of plastic drainage sheets on the construction site, as well as roll out the plastic sheets next to the trenching and ploughing machines. This device consists of a round turntable with a centre column and an upper guide rod frame. Hypro has developed a collapsible upper guide rail frame that retracts into the centre column. This collapsible frame uses an igus high-speed lead screw and lead screw nut to realise this innovative, time saving solution.
