What is just in time manufacturing?
Lean and just in time (JIT) manufacturing are two concepts which were established for the benefit of manufacturing companies whose everyday processes were being actively detrimental to the development of their companies.
What are modular connectors used for?
The igus® module connect has been developed to be the next level of plug and play solutions. Offering a highly flexible housing that allows multiple inserts covering power, signal, data and pneumatic connections in one module.
What is a service loop? igus® offers the e-loop as an alternative
The Oil and Gas Industry is faced with multiple challenges every day. igus® are always looking at ways of alleviating some of those challenges and the e-loop energy chain system just does that.
Bus malfunction in cables paralyses production
The energy chain is considered the umbilical cord of machines with a moving application, whereby the cables act as nerve pathways. The line quality must permanently meet the requirements of the movement. The interplay between the energy chain and cables must match. What happens if this is not the case? We would like to illustrate in today’s blog article.
Intelligent products from igus®. Making maintenance predictable.
Smart Plastics by igus® takes the surprises that arise when there is a fault. This technology sends signals to inform of wear or errors before it gets critical.
Data transmission in a crane system
The importance of protecting cables has never been so pertinent as it is when cables are battling with the elements , elevated hundreds of feet in the air. igus® offers e-chain® systems that not only protect the cables but can inform you of defects.
Energy chain or drag chain?
e-chain® describes a product that safely transports cables or lines, as well as hoses, in a particular way. They ensure the fail-safe supply of energy, data and impulses and are constantly in motion. They are designed to guide and protect. Plastic energy chains have been developed, produced and tested by igus® since 1971. There are energy chains made of plastic, metal (steel or aluminium) and a combination of both materials, so-called hybrid chains.
