Energy supply systems for the press plant

Robust and quiet at high speeds
High cycle rates with high speeds and accelerations, high forces, an oily environment: components in the pressing plant have to withstand a lot. At the same time, high demands are placed on them, because the pressing process should not only not stand still, but also run smoothly and as quickly and efficiently as possible. Components from igus® are designed precisely for this, because they perform at their best in the demanding movement.

Success stories

Energy safely guided in high-speed sheet metal feeding system

By utilising linear motor technology, Strothmann gmBH has set new standards in terms of performance and speed. The energy supply with the E6 is perfectly matched to the high speed and acceleration values and allows a continuous, reliable supply even over long distances.

Precise and maintenance-free bearing in rolling machine for mudguards

In a rolling machine for aluminium profiles for the production of truck mudguards, steel bearings were previously used for the lifting system of the pressure roller. As these always had to be lubricated and worked imprecisely, they were replaced by completely lubrication- and maintenance-free drylin® linear rails and iglidur® plain bearings.

NEW: igus® glide bar for chain conveyors

In addition to the drive and the roller chain, the glide bar is an indispensable element of the chain conveyor. The glide bar carries the applied loads and enables a continuous drive thanks to its low coefficient of friction.

Our glide bars made of iglidur® bar stock are designed for the high loads caused by car bodies. And of course you also benefit from our typical advantages here: All our products are maintenance-free and have a low coefficient of friction.

Our service starts even before installation:

We plan the optimisation of your system to guarantee maximum service life and increase system availability
Retrofitting your existing machines
Retrofitting condition monitoring or predictive maintenance to igus® products
Our energy chains are also available as ready-made systems, e.g. crossbar feeder, 7.-axis
After installation: regular inspection and maintenance of your energy chain and condition monitoring systems
At the end of the life cycle, we take the energy chain back and recycle it
