The bend radius is an essential topic in the production and use of various cables. Low bending makes the difference. In today’s post, we cover exactly what this is about.
We offer our chainflex® cables with the smallest possible bending radii without sacrificing the tried and tested and necessary features. Resilience and durability. Low bending is the keyword for the optimal combination of these cable properties.
it is essential that there is a range of cost-effective energy chains on the market. These are ideal for industries such as furniture and office equipment. igus® has some very clever cost-effective e-chains®….
The world is adapting so quickly. How we live, how we use technology, how we communicate, it is interesting to watch people discover things that they were curious about. Here an igus® engineer explains how the 3D bug caught him.
There are a vast range of calves that are available on the market. So why would you pick an igus® cable over a competitors? What can happen if the relationship between cable and chain is not stable? Let’s find out….
Ensuring the relationship between the polymer bearing and the shaft material is essential. igus® have various shaft materials which create perfect relationships with their polymer bearings.
Each company is different, Each application is different. Each situation is different. So when deciding on whether or not you need to buy in or produce in house there are some fundamental questions you need to consider.
igus® dryves are the motor controllers that we have developed to help customers reach a complete solution. Mainly, they consist of the igus® D1 dryve, this is the stepper motor controller we have, which can also control brushed and brushless DC motors. Then, we have the igus® D3 dryve which is a simple brushed DC motor controller for simple applications. This basically represents two sectors: the D1 dryve as an industrial controller for cartesian robots, delta robots and articulated robot arms, including those produced by igus®.
No matter whether you call the energy chain an 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. For the user, it is not the name that matters, but rather the function and durability.
This question about gut feeling is often answered. It usually says: “Soft hugs well” or “hard breaks much faster”. But what is actually right?
