Key features and benefits

Igildur stock plates
* According to the company, the stock plates increase design flexibility for engineers when customising special parts.
* Designers can obtain machined parts such as wear plates and strips easily and cost effectively with less waste.
* Igildur stock plate material comes in sheets rather than standard round bars and is available in a variety of thicknesses from 2mm to 25mm.
* Other key benefits of the stock plates include low coefficients of friction in dry operation, low moisture absorption and no maintenance needs.
* The stock plate material is suitable for parts that need to withstand temperatures from -50ºC to +120ºC.

Xiros bearings
* Xiros bearings are available in five standard Igus materials.
* The bearings are suitable for a variety of applications, ranging from medical equipment, pumps and measurement machines through to transport and conveying technology — particularly in the industrial sectors of chemicals, food, laboratory equipment and packaging.
* Lubricant and maintenance free over their entire lifetime, Xiros polymer ball bearings can endure temperatures of up to +150°C, are highly corrosion resistant, can be washed and cleaned, are non-magnetic and are lightweight.
* The plastic ball bearings are claimed to have excellent friction coefficients to give high performance and long service life, even in the most demanding of applications.

Robolink
* The company said that the Robolink is a simple, lightweight and cost-effective robotic system, which is now available with 6° of freedom.
* Maintenance and corrosion free, it is suitable for use in areas of general lightweight construction, handling and automation.
* The six-axis unit is available completely assembled on a rugged aluminium sub-frame and with Igus’s step motors to drive the robot.
