Success stories

Autonomous robot with e-spool energy chain

Compact cable guidance for innovative robot for unloading tyres from lorries

In order to automate the unloading of tyres from lorry trailers, an intelligent robot was developed on a mobile crawler platform. Due to the limited space available in the trailers and weight restrictions, the robot could not be operated by batteries or motors. This is why it comes from outside and, together with numerous data and control cables, is guided to the robot via a compact e-spool energy chain.

Tested in the igus test laboratory for use in the real world

Tested for continuous load, media resistance and quiet operation

In the industry's largest test laboratory for plastics, iglidur plain bearings, drylin linear technology and igubal coupling joints are put through their paces. The focus is on testing assemblies and examining the tribological properties of different material combinations. The results are incorporated into our online tools for service life calculation and enable exact predictions of durability.

Upon request, igus performs customer tests to check product use under specific conditions.
