Optimise operating processes and minimise downtimes: this is what the new iComm Box from igus helps you with. Thanks to the communication module, the i.Sense sensors for condition monitoring of igus motion plastics can be seamlessly integrated into the superwise service. Intelligent algorithms provide a detailed status analysis of the monitored machines and systems. The superwise dashboard provides information in real time and allows for optimum monitoring and control. A decisive advantage: the costs for data transmission are already included in the product price.
Handling containers around the clock under extreme conditions – this is the daily routine of STS, RMG and RTG cranes in ports around the world. However, premature wear and breakdowns of the wheel and axis units, the bogies, place an enormous burden on operators. In Rotterdam, igus will be presenting a solution at TOC Europe from 11th to 13th June 2024: wound, lubrication-free and corrosion-resistant polymer bearings from the igutex series for heavy-duty applications.
With the growing demand for electric cars, the need for high-quality lithium-ion batteries is also increasing. For this reason, they should ideally be manufactured in dry cleanrooms with minimal humidity and as little particulate matter as possible. At the same time, this environment must be automated because people are not allowed to spend long periods of time in dry cleanrooms. To ensure safe and reliable energy supply to robots, motion plastics specialist igus has developed the triflex R TRC: the first robot energy supply system with a certification for dry cleanrooms from Fraunhofer IPA for ISO Class 4-5.
The motion plastics specialist igus is now further expanding its customer service. Customer service employees can now also be reached via WhatsApp. Customers now have the option of conveniently using the igus live chat via the popular messaging platform to receive quick and uncomplicated support.
The seventh edition of the Smart Green Island Makeathon took place in Gran Canaria. The ITQ GmbH Innovation Festival invites students, universities and companies from all over the world to work together on innovative projects for application areas such as smart farming, robotics and the circular economy. The aim is to get young people excited about technology and drive digitalisation worldwide in the interest of sustainability. The Cologne-based plastics specialist and robot manufacturer igus also took part for the fourth time as one of the top sponsors. The Low Cost Automation experts supported the students on site with their expertise and robotics solutions, such as the ReBeL cobot.
