Treotham has been integrating Igus products to keep Australia's mines running smoothly for more than three decades. The mining industry is no stranger to massive equipment processing millions of tonnes of rock every day.

igus supports medical-technology project at Trier University of Applied Sciences with lubrication-free miniature guide systems

Produce orthoses that splint injured fingers in hospital in record time using a 3D printer: students at Trier University of Applied Sciences are developing a compact platform that measures fingers.

Expensive machine and vehicle breakdowns due to undetected faults in heavy-duty fixed flange bearings: these will soon be a thing of the past thanks to a new generation of two- and four-hole fixed flange bearings. Their special feature is that the bearings, which are made of lubrication-free high-performance plastic, are equipped with miniature wireless sensors, enabling condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.

With the new chainflex cable CF33.UL, igus has developed the world's first motor cable for energy chains and cable trays with UL approval and a four-year functional guarantee in the energy chain.

Thanks to Low Cost Automation (LCA) and the RBTX robotics marketplace from igus, companies of all sizes can find a complete solution that suits their requirements and budget.

Robots have become an integral part of industry and are increasingly finding their way into small and medium-sized companies in the form of cobots, such as the ReBeL.

igus offers new record guarantee of four years on cables

For even more planning security: guarantee period for the entire chainflex range extended from 36 months to four years

If cables break, machines and systems come to a standstill. However, companies weren't able to be sure how long a cable would last. Not until igus solved the problem:

New triflex TRX energy supply system revolutionises 3D motion of robots

Telescopic triflex TRX energy chain from igus saves space on the robot and ensures a retraction length of up to 40 per cent

Record-low costs and sustainability: our new slewing ring bearing

igus is adding a ready-to-install low-cost variant made from regranulated high-performance plastics to its iglidur PRT series

It is affordable, compact, lightweight and ready to install with a mouse click: igus has added a minimalist low-cost variant to the portfolio of its iglidur PRT series of slewing ring bearings. The PRT-05-15-PC not only reduces costs, but also protects the environment. The new slewing ring bearing consists of 97% regranulated high-performance plastics.

Artificial intelligence and automation: SMEs must not miss the boat

Low Cost Automation from igus promises obstacle-free entry into the robot era.

Accountants, journalists and even computer scientists are all amazed at how rapidly automation is developing, including with artificial intelligence. Industry representatives are, too. They are drawing new ideas for smart factories. Many traditional SMEs, however, are in danger of falling behind. Low Cost Automation can provide immediate assistance and help them avoid missing the boat.
