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.
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.
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?
It has been essential that igus® has remained open through the uncertain times. Production lines have been maintained and kept up and running and this is because igus® stayed open. Read more to find out how….
There are so many energy chain systems so how do you know which one is right for you? Here you will find the top key features for the igus® triflex® fully explained. This cable management system compliments Robot applications in every way.
Some ball bearings need lubricating in order for them to function. But is this necessarily the best option? Not always.
