Managing cables on robotic systems more reliably

Justin Leonard, the e-chain director at igus, examines the issues that can occur with traditional corrugated tube, cable and hose management systems used on robots and explains how they can be overcome by replacing them with energy chains.

How to avoid guide wear on drive chains

In this video, igus demonstrates a wear test that it is currently performing at its test facility in Cologne, Germany. Results show that the iglidur stock plate chain guide has a low coefficient of friction and is therefore significantly more wear resistant compared to traditional materials. As the stock plate is made of regular iglidur materials, igus online tools such as the lifetime calculator are also applicable.

Blue guide trough system saves time & money

The guidelite plus EG is an all-plastic guide trough system for energy chains, developed specifically for use in chemically corrosive environments, such as those found in galvanising plants and fertiliser production and handling facilities. The guitelite plus EG is significantly cheaper than high-grade stainless steel, which is the traditional material of choice in these aggressive environments.

Constant pressure valve maintenance tutorial

Correct and timely maintenance is an essential part of keeping a plant running smoothly and preserving process integrity. This new CPV maintenance video gives an easy to follow, step by step visual guide to assist technicians in efficiently carrying out correct valve disassembly, replacement of O-rings and bushings, and reassembly.
