With the changing times, the Indian Pharma industry is witnessing dynamic changes & are adopting advanced technologies for their machines , manufacturing processes , packaging techniques and other related aspects , so as to achieve greater output & higher productivity without any compromise on the strict hygiene standards & to maintain the safety of the […]
Plain bearings or commonly known as “bush”, bush bearing”, “bushing”, slide bearing” etc. are a much older technology when compared with ball bearings. Humans have been using plain bearings since year 3000BC. These are the simplest form of bearings without any rolling elements. Some of the most desired features of a plain bearings are – […]
Almost all mounting brackets are available in two variants. The first pivoting, the second is locking. At this point, many design engineers wonder when they should use the pivoting and when the locking version. Pivoting Type Locking Type Pivoting mounting brackets are standard for gliding and horizontally unsupported applications: But why is that? The pivoting […]
Machine tools very often have hydraulic hoses that are guided in e-chains – for clamping devices, coolant circuits and other applications. For hoses, as for electrical cables, there are several items to consider in the design and fitting of energy chains. Rule 1 : Whether Crossbars every link or every second link ? If a […]
Whether in dosing systems, on conveyor belts of filling systems or in labelling technology: you will find sheet metal and parts that are exposed to friction and wear in all these places. To increase the service life of the metallic components, igus has developed new coating material IC-05 which is compliant with FDA as well as […]
Anti-static component properties along with lubrication free, suitability for intensive cleaning agents , hygienic design & long service life are indispensable in packaging technology. The different packaging machines like thermoforming machines , Form,fill & seal machines , labelling machines, blister packaging machine , uses rollers for film deflection and may face some of the below […]
A gliding application frequently looks better than unsupported energy chain. This is not just because the straight line of the upper run, but also because the sag leading to the chain drop is eliminated compared to unsupported application. Unsupported systems will be better to use the space at the end of the travel (lesser Parking […]
You need a metallic component. You can quickly import the software model and the part comes out of the 3D printer in no time at all. Swarf doesn’t occur. There is practically no waste. This quickly leads to the question: can 3D printers replace classic machine tools? This blog examines this question for three relevant […]
Lathes, spindles and machine tools nearly always involve some form of rotation. The guidance of electric cables and hydraulic and pneumatic hoses is usually a difficult challenge. Even though an individual solution is needed for each machine, igus can offer Six varieties of Optimal Solution as below: Coiling of e-chain Coiling of e-chain with reverse […]
Wherever High precision range is required in the machine tool, plain bearings made of plastic reach their limits. However, in places where this is not the case, they can reduce costs and minimize maintenance. A typical place where our plain bearings show their full strength is in chain magazines of tool changing systems. The main […]
