Proven, predictable and tested

Testing is a crucial part of the production cycle. Without testing there would be no calculation tools, no assurance, no confidence. igus® test continually. Read about some of the processes in the blog.

Success with replacing non-igus® with igus®

Problem solving is what we do. We thrive on the challenge of trying to change original failing parts with igus® materials. Here, we see some success stories of how we did just that.

The fairy tale of the finest stranded wire

A conductor is the part of a wire that is responsible for the current flow. So, the copper in the middle is covered by the insulation so that the current does not get into the neighbouring wires. If the conductor consists of more than one wire, according to our strand specialist. While several wires form a strand, a strand covered with insulation represents a wire.

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 does cable insulation protect from high temperatures?

The ambient temperature and electrical loads on the cable play a decisive role in the functionality and longevity of cables and connectors.
At least since the long forgotten hours of physics, we have known that electricity and heat are related. This connection is clear again and again when it comes to cables.
The consequences of high temperatures on your cables can have drastic effects on your production liens and your costs.

Robot arms- How many does your robot need?

Everyone wants to have a system which creates an effective, productive and safe way of working. It is becoming more and more apparent that adding an automated option is the way forward. Here we learn about igus®’ Robolink and how these little Robots can change how you work.
