TIgus plans to show its expertise in plastic plain bearing developments
and cable management products such as its Energy Chain series for
connecting fast-moving machine elements plus associated Chainflex cable
range. A highlight at this year's event is the DryLin WQ linear guide
system featuring misalignment compensation. The geometry of this product
improves the load distribution on the rail, reducing friction values by
up to 15%. The DryLin WQ size 20 features a standard iglidur J200 polymer
lining, which sees further substantial reductions in friction and wear.
The latest Triflex R multi-axis flexible energy chain offers freedom of
movement in all three dimensions and an identical bending radius in each
direction. Thanks to its round-shaped design, Triflex R glides around the
outer contour of a robot without becoming hooked in and jammed. It
completely encloses the cables, protecting them from weld spatter and
contaminants, while its smooth inner surface contours avoid premature
insulation wear.
