Very often we write about cable assemblies that we have optimised, so that they guarantee our cables in the energy chain a long service life. Very high quality strands in the cores can be bent superbly, our inner jackets guide the stranding constructions along the longest paths and also provide a bomb-proof foundation for the […]
Injection moulding is one of the primary processing methods in plastics processing. It is the most widely used processing method. About one third of all plastics are processed on injection moulding machines. Energy chain systems, highly flexible cables and bearing technology solutions by igus ensure a long service life of all parts of injection moulding machines.
Many different shaft materials are used in the packaging, food and beverage industries. If a cost-effective solution is required, steel shafts are of interest. If light weight is important, aluminium shafts are used. If the application takes place in a humid environment or aggressive cleaning with chemicals, the corrosion resistance of the shaft is important. […]
I associate the topic of predictive maintenance with a reminder: just under two years ago, my wife gave me a great birthday present. A ride on a maize chopper. She had watched me playing the latest “agriculture simulator” weeks before and wanted to make me happy. (Did you know that the agriculture simulator is one […]
The use of strain relief components for energy supply systems is very often forgotten or simply underestimated and, when they are considered at all, they are often the wrong ones for the task at hand. This is extremely annoying and costs an unnecessary amount of time. But doing without strain relief is no solution either […]
