For applications that require vertical cable management, especially those with space constraints, the zigzag energy e-chain modules from igus® have proven to be particularly successful. Standard zigzag energy chain modules are available from igus®, offering a space-saving and cost-effective solution for applications requiring vertically moving cable management. Ideal for stage technology, cranes, telescopic antennae etc, this innovative solution was previously only available […]
igus has introduced Stepper and DC Drives for controlling DC, BLDC and stepper Motors. This is article is particularly about Stepper Drive which is called D1. We offer this D1 (stepper Drive) along with our screw-driven and belt-driven systems. D1 is compatible with Industrial controllers like Siemens, Beckhoff, and open source modules such as Raspberry […]
Often the question is asked, whether igus e-chains contain chlorine? For someone who is not familiar with the subject, this question seems rather strange as mostly we associate chlorine with water purification in swimming pools. Therefore, let us go deeper into the subject. Classification of the elements Chlorine (Cl) belongs to the group of halogens (ancient Greek […]
igus India won the order for 2 x 670 m travel in a thermal power plant. igus believes that special solutions, be it conversion or new installation, do not need to be expensive. With over 20 years of experience in project work and more than 1,000 projects each year, igus has a rich modular system […]
The performance and reliability of a crane is directly dependent on how power reaches the system. There are various power supply options available and each option has certain parameters and requirements to be considered. This can mean that selecting the best type of system to implement can be complicated. Here we look at 2 possible options; Busbar […]
No matter whether you call it an energy chain, e-chain or a drag chain, it also does not matter whether cables have Flexible Dynamic (FD), highly flexible (HF) or “chain” in the name. It is not the name that matters, but rather the function and durability. So, which is best? A “hard” or a “soft” […]
Mechanical engineers have to adapt their machines time and time again to a new situation. Customer requirements, quality assurance specifications, and even market needs are changing constantly. This also requires an adaptability of manufacturing companies and their plant – on the one hand to meet the existing demand and on the other hand to remain […]
The term e-chain is closely related to the terms drag chain, energy chain and energy supply system or energy guiding chain or even cable guidance systems. The e-chain describes a product that safely carries cables or even hoses, over a certain distance. They ensure the dependable supply of energy, data and signals while in constant motion. They […]
Assembling ventures are currently centering to computerize tedious errands like screwing, pressing and so on they are contributing on such applications as they could utilize the labor for some other gainful works. igus now presents Low Cost Automation items which incorporates Gantry frameworks, Delta Robot and Robolink for such applications. We accept that we could […]
