ATEX standard: How can dust cause an explosion?

Who would have thought that dust could cause an explosion!! There are European Standards that enforce compliance in certain environments and these standards keep people safe. What products does igus® have that fall under these standards?

How do we test the articulated robot ?

The robolink® undergoes most of its testing in the igus® headquarters in Cologne, Germany. The robolink® test lab is used for continuous testing and improvement of not only the individual gears and joints of the robolink® but also of the assembled products.

Automation investment

We are pleased to officially announce the opening of our automated assembly line for readycable at our UK facility in Northampton. Representing another significant investment for igus, the new line uses fully-automated machines and lean manufacturing methods to streamline its manufacturing process to deliver fully-harnessed drive cables shipped within 24 hours of order placement.
