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….
Evolution is essential to ensure that the best product is being provided at all times. The evolution of iglidur® Q2 into the new and improved Q2E allows better wear for lower cost. Not only that, igus® have created a bearing that is smart…
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?
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.
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.
