Extended igus solar pillow block bearing series for square profiles, impresses in laboratory tests with a service life of over 72 years

The manus award is entering the next round: whether garbage truck, packaging machine or aircraft seat - igus is once again looking for the most innovative applications for lubrication-free and maintenance-free igus polymer plain bearings.

Automated weld seam tracking in robot welding cells is a complex task in a harsh industrial environment. The micrometer-accurate detection of the guide point with different types of joint by 2D/3D profile sensors is one of the most effective solutions for this challenge. In combination with wenglor’s uniVision software, the new weCat3D MLZL 2D/3D tracker sensor not only combines the necessary precision and profile quality, but also offers convenient installation, integration, robustness and user-friendliness.

Save installation space and weight with just one cable for power and data: it's easy with harnessed igus readycable hybrid cables available through Treotham Automation. New to the range are ready-to-connect cables suitable for SEW-EURODRIVE with MOVILINK DDI and Siemens SINAMICS S210 with OCC. In addition to PUR, the latter is also available with an outer jacket made of cost-effective PVC. Macros for the EPLAN Electric P8 software speed up cable planning by around 50%.

EHEDG-compliant system design suitable for CIP and SIP affords maximum protection against microorganisms and corrosion.

The new PFLITSCH blueglobe CLEAN Plus cable gland made of food-grade plastic has been awarded a REINER! 2021 prize.

The linear carriage T20 of the drylin W series makes switching from ball guides to sliding linear guides even easier.

Another exciting new development as part of the new Macquarie Park warehouse is a dedicated assembly line known as igus "readychain®."
