I am asked time and again what igus has to do with cables? After first cringing at my self-conception, I relax and am happy to be able to answer this question. I’ll start at the beginning: my heart beats for electrical engineering and before I came to igus, I knew cable only as a connector […]
The current weather situation is impressive. Temperatures in Germany go below -25 degrees at night. I haven’t experienced that very often. There are beautiful natural spectacles from huge icicles to frozen waterfalls. Besides these beautiful perspectives, however, there are also less beautiful ones. Roads freeze over, rail traffic comes to a standstill. Some machines freeze […]
What is smart plastics CF.Q? Cable monitoring, with the help of the isense CF.Q module, is used for the early detection of the change in electrical specifications of chainflex® cables due to the mechanical loads during operation in an igus® e-chain system®. How does CF.Q work? The i.Sense CF.Q cable monitoring system measures the electrical […]
The defect of a ball bearing can have various causes; whether cage wear, ball breakage or damage to the running surfaces. Find out in this blog post why igus can be an alternative to metal after a defect.
In hydroelectric power plants, systems such as cable trolleys, motor cable drums and busbars are used for the supply of electrical energy. But they are often susceptible to problems and need a lot of maintenance. We have therefore developed a basic flizz system, which works reliably and without problems in continuous operation. Continuous use whatever the weather With the help […]
