Selected applications from our customers

Nappy production plant

The output of these highly complex nappy production machines has tripled in recent years without any investment in new machinery. This works on the one hand through very high system availability, and on the other hand the production process is subject to continuous improvements.

Go to application

Fast and reliable test & measurement

Despite large quantities, the automated systems of Gefra GmbH inspect small components visually for damage. Maintenance-free and lubrication-free components are of great importance in precise visual inspection, and therefore the Gefra GmbH relies on lead screw axes of the drylin drive technology range from igus for adjusting the lighting units.
