igus Inc.

igus® will be exhibiting at booth number 6906 in the East Hall during Pack Expo 2010. New products on show will include a hygienic linear slide table and an adjustable linear guide carriage.

The 18th annual BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) Robotics Competition kicks off this month. This year’s competition marks the sixth consecutive year for igus® Inc. as a nationwide product sponsor for the event.

igus has just launched a new website for North America.

Igus has announced that its engineers are once again available to examine cable carriers and continuous-flex cables free of charge during plant shutdowns this summer.

A developer and manufacturer of custom-made equipment for the fabricating industry uses sliding slewing ring bearings from igus® for rotary motion on an ultrasonic welding machine.

igus announced the results of its worldwide cable carrier competition at this year’s Hanover show. The winners were awarded their prizes during a reception at the igus booth.

When news needs to be spread, no other medium is as fast as the online forum Twitter. Now plastic technology specialist, igus® Inc., is using the popular social network to keep its customers up-to-date with the latest information.

A Colorado-based manufacturer has incorporated iglide plastic plain bearings from igus into its high-end, telemark ski-bindings, which has both created a more reliable product and virtually eliminated maintenance requirements.

Metal chips can cause abrasion and wear in long travel, gliding cable carrier applications. To combat this, igus has developed a horizontal guiding system called “Guidelok”, which is designed to keep the upper and lower cable carrier runs apart.

The word ‘hybrid’ is used in engineering to describe a system where two technologies are combined together. igus has now achieved this with a completely new type of cost-effective hybrid linear bearing that both rolls and slides.
