High-speed sheet feeding

igus® E6 energy chains are used at Strohmann GmbH. High-speed sheet feeder makes high demands on energy supply.

High-speed sheet feeding    

Automated storage and retrieval system

The well-planned design allows extremely rapid accelerations as well as high operating speeds.

Automated storage and retrieval system    

Indoor and outdoor cranes

Outdoor cranes must withstand severe weather conditions. Even indoor cranes work under ever-changing humidity conditions together with very high temperatures.

Indoor and outdoor cranes    

Conveyor facility

The maintenance-free igubal® rod end bearing is used as connecting component between pneumatic cylinder and adjusting lever.

Conveyor facility    

Handling device

The igus® potentials enable a precise guidance and the maximum gripper speed in both directions "X" and "Y".

Handling device     

Rotary sorter

The igubal® flange bearings were by far the most cost-efficient alternative in comparison.

Rotary sorter    

Loading and unloading facility

The demands on the energy supply systems are very high: High cycle times and narrow bending radii significantly strain the energy supply system and cables.

Loading and unloading facility    

Hanging installation

Hanging installation of the energy chain 2400 series

Hanging installation    

Household appliances production

Just 24 hours passed between order, delivery and installation. The entire system functions without any problem from the first day on.

Household appliances production    

Handling system

Robotic handling system for circuit boards. Flexible energy supply system in use in clean room technology.

Handling system    

Machine tool for workpieces

To save installation space and toreduce forces and torques, an E-Chain® was wound around a gripper.

Machine tool for workpieces    

Two-girder bridge crane

With the perfectly fitting energy supplysystem for this crane system, the overalldimension for the installation was considerablyreduced.

Handling system ”roboLoop“

The ”roboLoop“ system itself offers manyways to optimise the fabrication sequences.

Handling system ”roboLoop“    

Robot for printed circuit boardhandling

For the handling of printed circuit boards, a six-axis robot is used in the case of this application instead of the usual linear systems.

Assembly crane

This crane in a truck assembly plant is used to unload andtransport the individual vehicle chassis at the beginning of the assembly process.

Assembly crane    

Pallet changer

In the case of this application, the worksafety was increased by integrating theenergy supply system into the body of thepallet changer.

Pallet changer    

SCARA robot

The special feature of thisapplication is the hot chips produced during the machining process, which do not stick tothe igus® E-Chain® and therefore extremely reduce the maintenance expenditure as a result.

SCARA robot    

Workpiece storage location

This workpiece storage location is designedfor automated shift operation. At the same time, the energy supply mustbe provided in all four axes of motion(three linear axes and one rotational axis).

Workpiece storage location    

Crane in sawmill

This crane is to be used in a sawmill to transport up to 8 cubic metres of wood chips at once.

Crane in sawmill    

Tobacco packaging

A lot of dust occurs during the tobacco packing. For this reason, an E-Chain® that works perfectly even under very dusty conditions had to be found for this packaging machine.

Tobacco packaging    

Fully automatic indoor crane

In halls in particular, every little bit of space often counts.
