manus® 2011
Page-turner
Unalloyed reading pleasure
This fully automatic page turner for people with disabilities can automatically turn the pages of many newspapers, magazines, folders, exercise books and the like. It can be controlled by sensors for hand or foot, blown with the mouth, controlled by the voice or optical sensors, and can scroll forward or back. All bearing points in the unit were equipped with iglidur® G-plain bearings. What was crucial here was the fact that the igus® bearings do not require lubrication.
