    Evolution of the trapezoidal thread: new igus standard from Treotham achieves 82 percent efficiency

    Even tried and tested structures have potential for improvement. One example is the classic trapezoidal thread, which igus has refined. Thanks to a special geometric interaction between the lead screw nut, which requires no lubrication or maintenance, and the metal lead screw, dryspin technology promises a long service life, improved efficiencies, low wear and less movement noise.

    Squich connectors for 10,000 mating cycles

    Machine interfaces and system components that are connected and disconnected several times a day require high-performance connectors as frequent mating cycles are the norm.

    For such conditions, Treotham offers the RSH and RDSH ILME inserts, designed to maximise ease of use and minimise systems downtime.

    Freedom for articulated arm robots: igus’ 7th axis from Treotham extends the working space by up to 400 percent

    Articulated arm robots can travel over six metres, quadrupling their working space: the 7th axis is now compatible with all lightweight articulated arm robots worldwide thanks to a simple Plug & Play kit. So far, models from Universal Robots, Epson and the igus robolink series from Treotham have benefited from this increased mobility. Now Omron, Franka Emika, Doosan, Yuanda Robotics and many other lightweight robotics suppliers are joining the list.

    Small format, large switching distances: Inductive sensors now in compact D3 and M4 housing

    Treotham’s range of Wenglor inductive sensors with increased switching distances features enhanced performance in miniature design: A total of eight new sensors from the I03 and I04 series in the compact D3 and M4 housing for detecting metallic objects in confined systems. Practically no larger than a pin head, the robust sensors in V2A stainless steel housing demonstrate their strengths exactly where space is most limited.

    Compact rotation with plastic: igus develops a new cost-effective rotary energy chain

    It is light, compact, and made entirely of plastic: the new PRM (Polymer Rotation Module) rotary igus energy supply system from Treotham. Specifically for tight rotational movements in cables and hoses, igus has now developed a system consisting of a polymer energy chain and a low-friction plastic guide trough. Users can increase the service life of their machines and systems with buying costs up to 73% less than those of a comparable steel guide trough. The new e-chain system expands the igus range of complete sets that can be ordered directly from Treotham Automation.

    New MGB2 modular EtherCAT P with FSoE

    If there is one area where applications are becoming ever-more complex, it’s safety engineering. EUCHNER has not only kept up with this trend with its Multifunctional Gate Box (MGB) safety door system, but has gone a step further by employing modular design to make the MGB2 Modular fully customisable for maximum optimisation. The modular system features a separate locking module, bus module and submodules, making it suitable for implementing a wide range of additional functions.

    Robust and hygienically compliant: When stainless steel 316L meets optical sensor performance

    Specialists in harsh and demanding industrial environments: Type 2K Wenglor photoelectronic sensors are the latest additions to the PNG//smart product series from Treotham. Thanks to their robust stainless steel 316L housing with IP69K protection, they can withstand intensive high-pressure cleaning up to 100 bar at temperatures up to 80 °C, aggressive cleaning agents, coolants and lubricants, as well as mechanical influences and corrosion.
