Key product highlights from Hanover

Igus introduced 155 products and line extensions to the industrial automation industry at Hannover Messe.

These include the e-skin concept. Machine builders and system integrators in the industrial automation industry, as well as medical and automotive industries, use corrugated tubes as part of the energy supply system. In contrast to corrugated tube systems currently available, the e-skin modular hose can be shortened or extended in the field. It is also self-supporting for short runs and is suitable for use in clean room environments.

With the robolink D generation of direct-drive articulated arms, made of plastic and aluminium, robot manufacturers and machine and equipment builders can develop 4-axis robots cheaply, quickly and easily.

In addition, Igus presented, what they claim is, one of the lightest linear guides in the world made entirely of plastic, which helps machine builders meet industry demands for additional weight saving, noise reduction and stability.
