The facade of the French luxury fashion house DIOR enchants hundreds of thousands of people every year. What they don’t see: for the winter magic, design engineers have to overcome a number of challenges, such as finding electrical adjustment systems for the moving figures that also work in freezing temperatures. Weather-resistant and lubrication-free linear modules from igus ensure trouble-free Christmas magic.
Around the world, the number of dry cleanrooms is increasing. The main focus is on automating the systems to ensure fast and cost-effective production. In addition to its certified energy chains suitable for dry cleanrooms, igus has now also had its halogen-free chainflex TPE cables successfully certified by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in accordance with dry cleanroom Classes 4 and 5. This provides customers in highly automated battery production with energy management solutions with a reliable guaranteed service life of up to four years.
Testing linear systems with stepper motors in just a few minutes before installation: the new drylin control unit from igus makes this possible. The compact drylin DLE-CU-9 eliminates the need for tedious cabling with separate control and IT systems, speeding up the commissioning of series machines and the development of prototypes. It is also a fully-fledged solution for simple automation tasks.
