At igus®, samples are a part of our way of life and for our product development and industry growth. We find that samples allow us to demonstrate the latest technology and versatile product capabilities with an abundance of product types, properties and functions.
Q&A with Matthew Aldridge: Managing Director of igus®. Get an overview of some igus® key features and how we are continuing with innovation in the plastics world.
Printing moulding tools is an ingenious method of producing mid volume parts but at a cost effective price. Who wouldn’t want that?
In our 3800m² test laboratory, all igus® products are put through their paces to ensure that safety, predictability and function are all the best they can be for each application.
For the 3D printed parts, we test wear, strength and friction rates under varying parameters.
For a long time at igus® we have supported the development of up-and-coming members of our team. An initiative to support these students and their education facilities saw the birth of the YES programme.
Safety is key. In a fast moving world, safety remains paramount and igus® is helping with the prevention of fire hazards.
Stretching across our different product departments, igus® provides FDA-compliant materials for myriad applications, from packaging raw food in factories, to dispensing liquids using an FDA-compliant robot and using FDA-approved materials to increase efficiency and cleanliness in a food and drink production line. Our materials are all tested to a high degree to ensure safe and healthy properties, while staying long-lasting and resistant to necessary wash down procedures found in the food and beverage industry.
Our essence is motion, so if your machine has moving parts igus® can promise a number of things. The product we offer will be: self-lubricating, maintenance-free, cost-effective, predictable, resistant to dirt, dust, chemicals and heat (to name a few), and will improve the lifetime of your machine too.
