Compact cable guidance for innovative robot that unloads tyres from lorries

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

Tested in the test laboratory for use in the real world

Tested for continuous load, media resistance and quiet operation
In the industry's largest plastics test laboratory, 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 specifications of different material combinations. The results are incorporated into our online tools for calculating service life and allow exact durability predictions.

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