Wherever people operate doors or other moving elements by hand on a daily basis, minimal operating forces, quiet operation and freedom from maintenance are crucial - especially in light of the new EU Accessibility Act and the increasing automation of everyday life.

PMA FPH & FPHB Heavy‑Duty Protective Hoses

When cables are pushed to their limits, ordinary protection isn’t enough. PMA FPH and FPHB heavy‑duty protective hoses are engineered for environments where performance, reliability, and durability are non‑negotiable.

Designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, these solutions help extend cable life, reduce maintenance, and keep critical systems operating reliably.

Around the world, the number of dry cleanrooms is increasing. The main focus is on automating the systems to ensure fast and cost-effective production. In addition to its certified energy chains suitable for dry cleanrooms, igus has now also had its halogen-free chainflex TPE cables successfully certified by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation

Australian Manufacturing Week 2026 is set to be a cornerstone event for the nation’s industrial sector, bringing together manufacturers, 

WITTENSTEIN alpha presents a new feature of the Health Index gearbox analysis tool: the “utilisation radar”. This Smart Service analysis tool delivers information about critical operating states in WITTENSTEIN alpha gearboxes with cynapse^® functionality – that is, with integrated temperature and acceleration sensors, 

With the new P1MW series contrast sensors, the wenglor sensoric group is presenting a resource-efficient solution for standardized print mark recognition. With clearly structured functions, the sensors can be seamlessly integrated into existing processes without any integration effort.

The design of a cable guide system for cleanrooms, also referred to as Clean Cable, is complex: it is necessary to take numerous requirements into account, select suitable cables and create technical drawings. This process requires expert knowledge and has so far involved a lot of time and manual effort. This is exactly where igus comes into play with the new e-skin flat configurator. Users can design a flat cable guide system...

A design engineer of a packaging machine has been assigned a new task: replacing all plastic components with versions that do not use the chemical group PFAS. They might be more strictly regulated in future as they represent a potential burden for people and nature. The conversion is intended to ensure future legal certainty. But...

The demand for electric cars and the use of AI are growing, so that more and more lithium-ion batteries and microchips are required. As these technologies have to deliver performance that continues to increase, they are also becoming more sensitive and place high demands on production environments.
