From design to serial production, Schurter produces PCAP touchscreens for use in the most demanding markets. At its high-end production facilities, the company produces small to large series of customised PCAP touchscreens.
The digital era is well and truly upon us and this year Igus introduces ‘enjoyneering’ as a term to encourage engineers to use more digital methods to help design and problem solving.
With the automotive industry being such a high cost per hour, it is vital that all machinery runs as smoothly as possible and with minimal maintenance. Energy chains from Igus have proved key.
Combining its expertise in lead screws with precision machining capability, Abssac works closely with customers to provide finished, ready-to-fit linear products that not only reduce their scrap rates, but also ensure that the lead screw and nut fit tolerances are maintained every time.
Automation doesn’t need to be complicated and doesn’t always have to be industrial. In this video, the modular ReBeL cobot arm from Igus shows the variation of movement possible, the accuracy and the simplicity of programming.
With ctrlX MOTION from Bosch Rexroth, simple cartesian handling tasks, pick and place applications as well as highly dynamic applications with numerous synchronised axes can be implemented.
The Igus ReBel robot arm could not be easier to use. Designed specifically for it to be suitable for anyone to program, the user friendly Igus robot control is easy to operate and can be up and running in minutes.
LG Motion has appointed Basingstoke-based Minitec UK, which specialises in aluminium profile solutions for a wide range of industries, as a systems integrator for collaborative robot solutions in the UK.
With cables in high demand, it is hardly surprising that Igus has seen a high rise in data cable requirements. Its chainflex data cables offer superb EMC resistance when used in moving applications, thanks to the special shielding structure.
Igus believes that being able to automate shouldn’t be elitist; it should be possible for everyone. That’s embodied in the Apiro line adjustment products, part of the Igus Low Cost Automation range.
Torus Technology Group has partnered with Festo to create a purpose-designed integrated handling solution for its new TQ-Lab modular plastics packaging testing station.
With manufacturing and assembly facilities worldwide, Igus reports that customers are increasingly turning to it for complete systems for their cables and connector requirements.
The first in the new ‘Design • Engineer • Build’ series of video podcasts focuses on lead screws – components that are at the heart of countless engineering systems. We talk to Phil Jones at Abssac about the enduring popularity of these essential design products, and the design considerations in their specification.
Schurter’s OGN fuse holder includes versions suitable for Through Hole Reflow soldering, providing increased efficiencies and reducing the risk of incorrect product placement by eliminating the need for a second soldering process.
