In these energy chains crossbars are installed in every second chain link. The advantages of energy chains with crossbars every second link: low price (up to 20% savings) lowers weight, reducing drive forces fast assembly reduces assembly costs easy access to interior separation and cables maximum fill weight identical to that of an energy chain […]
The search for the best-suited cable guidance system for indoor crane applications under the influence of aggressive chemicals is a challenge. The specially developed chemically resistant igumid EG+ plastic is used both for the energy chain and for the plastic guide trough. The material’s very low total moisture absorption, which grants great resistance to aggressive chemicals, is decisive.
There are many and increasingly complex possibilities for the automation of injection moulding processing. This is a trend that is constantly evolving. Automation is essential for the optimisation of operational processes and ultimately for increasing competitiveness. The need to automate the many injection moulding processes at igus has resulted in an innovative product, the igus sprue picker!
The advantages of roller chains over conventional cable garland/cable trolley systems are obvious. Let’s take a closer look at the design features of both solutions – in use in harbour crane systems.
The data transfer dilemma In the course of general system and vehicle automation in intralogistics, there is an area where companies are converting their narrow-aisle trucks into true autonomous transport vehicles. Something that was pure science fiction just a few years ago, can be implemented relatively easily today with the help of modern information technology […]
