igus manufactures motion plastics: energy chain cable carriers, continuous-flex cables, plastic plain bearings, linear guides and actuators, low-cost automation components including the ReBeL cobot, and custom 3D-printed, CNC-machined and injection-molded parts.
Plastic cable carriers (energy chains) that guide and protect cables and hoses in linear, multi-axis and rotary motion; inner heights from 5 mm to 350 mm.
Continuous-flex cables (control, motor, servo, robot, bus, data and fiber-optic), over 1,350 non-assembled types, for use in energy chains at travel distances up to 400 m.
Self-lubricating plastic plain bearings and bushings for dry-running, maintenance-free operation, developed from over 100 new polymer compounds tested annually in-house.
Self-lubricating, grease-free linear guides, bearings, lead screws and electric actuators (W, N, T, R, C, Q, NT profiles) for food, packaging, medical and marine equipment.
ReBeL is a lightweight 4-, 5- or 6-axis cobot weighing 8.2 kg, with 2 kg maximum payload, 664 mm maximum reach and +/-1 mm repeatability, run via igus Robot Control software.
On-demand 3D printing service (FDM, SLS, DLP) producing custom wear parts, plain bearings, gears, rollers and lead screw nuts from igus iglide polymers; SLS parts ship in 2-3 business days.
