Every drive system needs its perfect fit to maintain hassle-free utility. Finding the right linear module is confusing and time-consuming. To address this commonplace challenge, Germany based Igus brings an innovative online configuration tool dedicated to ensure customized and maintenance-free drive systems.
Your drive technology may be of different configurations, weightage. Regardless of the type of system, after the configuration is in the application and the parameters are adjusted as per system constitution, the smart product finder shows the customer all suitable drylin drive technology solutions along with their predicted service life. Depending on the configuration analysis, the user can decide on the optimal linear module system and further complement the system capacity with compatible accessories such as motor and control system. Igus supplies the online configuration tool along with the accessories.
Igus provides a trial configuration technology to help customers find the right linear module for their application free of charge. Their digital drylin drive technology configurator uses application data such as installation position, load, stroke length, speed and self-locking to suggest suitable product suggestions that fulfil specific system requirements.
The USP of their Digital configurator is that their in-house laboratory test data can reflect a lifetime statement for each linear module as well as the motor load in each application and display them online. Michael Hornung, Igus GmbH's International Product Manager for drylin assured, “The customer can expect reliable and maintenance-free application of the linear modules”.
The configuration parameters can be filtered or adjusted according to further options for utility conditions like high temperatures or food service. Thereafter more and more accessories could be added to enhance the system performance. The configuration allows both manual operations and motor control. Mr Hornung says "The trial configuration presents an analysis of compatible products which gives the user the choice and confidence of utilizing a linear module that is the perfect fit for their system”.
The user choice can be cemented to practical use in literally just a few clicks. The linear model of trial digital configuration is set to automatically display the estimated price of each accessory and users can download the technical trial configuration data and list of suggested accessory parts for further use and order it.
Customized Drylin Drive Technology
Igus offers linear modules of drylin technology for different industrial applications purposes. From the packaging industry to measuring in inspection and testing automation, or adjustment in laser marking systems. All the system core consists of high-performance self-lubricating polymers that are maintenance-free and erosion-resistant bearing precise utility with reliable and long service life.
Igus linear module product comes in different size ranges. They offer compact three carriage versions including a plain bearing, ball bearing and mounted lead screw. Their linear drive technology is very space-sensitive and crafted for tight space installation and handling. For example, the miniature module takes up a very small installation and handling space and runs on the low-profile drylin linear guide from igus. Further application of their drylin gears can stretch to laboratory analysis systems, pipetting technology and sensors, amongst others. Each gear is fit for tight installation and handling space.
