There are many requirements at bearing points, and they often go beyond what technical data sheets say. There are often “soft” requirements that are difficult to quantify and arise only later in unforeseen operating conditions. During the design phase, it may turn out, for instance, that lubrication should not be used, that role of weight […]
A component won’t stick to the printing plate – a well-known problem Users of filament 3D printers know that a frequent problem in processing filaments is that components do not adhere correctly to the print bed. The result is that component corners raise up, there are ugly deformations, and the component might even come loose […]
It is every machine operator’s nightmare. The machine tool suddenly becomes jerky. The user’s pulse starts to race. Sweat breaks out on their forehead. They are worried about the workpiece clamped into the machine. Each vibration damages the cross section. The workpiece will soon be beyond help. This is doubly irritating. It costs time and […]

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.
