In addition to the shortage of skilled workers, high energy costs combined with increasing cost pressure and declining incoming orders remain the biggest challenges for the machine tool industry. To survive in this environment, companies must produce even better and more cost-effectively. So igus will be presenting cutting-edge technologies at EMO 2023. These are technologies that take the pressure off companies: low-cost robots that are as easy to operate as a computer game, an online service for rapid production of CNC components made of high-performance plastics, a 3D-printed assembly frame, and a low-cost energy chain for unsupported applications.
The touch of a button transforms a luxury swimming pool into a walk-in terrace. The key is a moving pool bottom from Conmag Engineering. But what linear technology works reliably and with little maintenance under water? The engineers found the answer at igus, saving €30,000 per pool.
New to the agricultural and construction machinery industry: with the new iglidur Q3E plain bearing, igus has – for the first time – managed to manufacture heavy-duty bearings made of two layers of high-performance plastic using a cost-effective injection-moulding process. Plastic-based, multi-layer structures previously required the winding process, which is more expensive for high volumes.
igus is launching a new energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms: the Clean SCARA Cable Solution is made of tribologically optimised high-performance plastics and works almost particle-free according to ISO Class 2 even in high-speed applications. It is also stronger and more user-friendly than classic corrugated hoses.
