 New  Cobots: Machine loading from €4,970

ReBeL cobot
To the cobots and kinematics for machine tools
Lean, green and smart: Every new generation of machine tools tries to pack more performance into less installation space. As a result, components such as energy chains, cables and bearings need to be stronger, more durable and often more space-saving. Smart sensors guarantee safety in this development. Monitoring the condition of individual components or recommending predictive maintenance measures save costs at the same time.
But there is also a lot going on around the machine tool: Low-cost robotics enable simple and cost-effective automation, for example when loading machine tools. And numerous digital tools for engineers such as the igus metaverse or the AI-based spare parts identification, will make our customers' work easier in the future.

Lean manufacturing

Efficient manufacturing & automation

Lean manufacturing describes the trend of using resources optimally, not wasting them and at the same time realising the greatest possible output. In short, it is about the most efficient or "lean" production possible. Our energy chains are also developed according to this philosophy. With the E4QL energy chain for machine tools, for example, we have achieved the greatest possible strength while saving material at the same time. We were also able to reduce costs in this way.

 New  For highly dynamic machine tools

E4QL energy chain

E4QL energy chain

Machine tools are becoming increasingly dynamic. For these requirements, the new E4QL energy chain offers the best combination of strength and weight. It can also be opened by hand, saving up to 40% assembly time.

For medium-load ranges

Energy chain E2.1

Energy chain E2.1

When medium loads need to be guided reliably and safely in the machine tool, the E2.1 energy chain comes into play - with optimised sliding surfaces, integrated brakes and 10% more strength than its predecessor.

Green solutions

Climate change & sustainable products

Since 2018, we have been increasingly focussing on sustainability in production and products. As a result, there are new linear and plain bearings as well as a new energy chain that comes from recycled material from our own production. And our Chainge recycling program for disused energy chains has been expanded to include an online marketplace for regranulate.
p-rack

 New  100% regranulable transport rack

Customised, fast, sustainable. Our "rack", the transport frame on which the energy chains are delivered, is now 100% regranulable and reusable. With the first additively manufactured cornstarch e-chain rack, you can also reduce the CO2footprint of your machine tool.

cradle-chain: recycled energy chain

cradle-chain The new catalogue product range E2.1.CG consists of 100% recycled material - with the same technical specifications and load limits as energy chains made of standard material igumid G.

 New  Chainge recycling and online marketplace

chainge Not only energy chains can be recycled via a new online platform, but also other technical plastic components. At the same time, users can buy material that has already been processed in the form of regranulate via the platform.

Smart engineering

Digitisation & networking

We deal intensively with topics related to digital transformation. This includes our smart plastics - i.e. our products in combination with intelligent sensor technology, which, for example, enable condition monitoring or predictive maintenance. But there are also many services related to the topic of "enjoyneering". This includes, for example, the igus metaverse, intelligent spare part identification or new apps such as igus GO.
igus enjoyneering

 New  Tools for engineers: enjoyneering

Developing machine tools, designing components, discussing solutions. In the igus VR universe – the iguverse – engineers discuss and plan their machine tools in one room, regardless of location. These and other digital tools are what we call "enjoyneering": Unleash your engineering power with play.
