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?
MD Matthew Aldridge explains why igus® has managed to stay open!
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….
13 key features of energy chains for the Robotics industry
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.
Why lubrication-free might be the better option for your ball bearings.
Some ball bearings need lubricating in order for them to function. But is this necessarily the best option? Not always.
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.
