smart plastics

More efficient maintenance and repair
The igus® components do not simply develop a defect unexpectedly but predict this defect and indicate a need for maintenance. With this new development, igus® has established predictive maintenance - smart production meets equally smart maintenance. A milestone.

robolink® ReBeL

Low-cost robotic joint for service-robotics
With the ReBeL series, igus® introduces for the first time low-cost robotics strain wave gears at HMI 2018, with which 6 DOF robots, i.e. with six axes, can be implemented. robolink® ReBeL joints can be used for tasks in the workplace and in the private sector.

drylin® W Exchange

Smart bearing replacement directly on the rail
The innovative bearing housing makes it easy and fast to change the liner on the rail. The possibility of replacement directly on the rail makes the task of assembling linear units or drive units such as toothed-belt axes unnecessary.

P4.1 roller chain

Extremely long travels with double the service life
The new P4.1 roller chain is fitted with a maintenance-free tribo-polymer bearing. Tribo-bearing doubles the service life. In addition, predictive maintenance is possible thanks to intelligent service life monitoring.

CFSOFT

Soft cable for the smallest bend radii
Due to their very low stiffness they are perfect for fast, short strokes and very small radii. The CFSOFT is suitable for all applications that involves very small installation spaces and short travels. Due to its easily bendable material, the CFSOFT does not press on energy supply systems in these applications.

More information

Be it a customizable robolink® low cost robot with up to six axes, or a drylin® exchange linear guide system, which enables an easy replacement of bearings directly on the rail, or a long-lasting P4.1 energy guide for the longest travels with maintenance-free plain bearings - these three and further innovations and expansions of the motion plastics® product range underline the innovative power of igus®. Find the solution for your needs now.
