Machine Design's Editor-in-Chief Rehana Begg toured the igus booth at Hannover Messe, exploring the company's motion plastics solutions for humanoid robotics, PTFE-free bearings, cleanroom energy supply systems, and the ReBeLMove Pro autonomous mobile robot platform capable of carrying 250 kg and towing 900 kg.
igus GmbH has launched a new self-supporting twisterchain energy chain designed for industrial robots, enabling reliable cable management through rotation angles exceeding 600°. The product solves cable management challenges for compact robots on their first axis and palletizing robots on their fifth axis, featuring easy cable insertion, adjustable pretension, and a two-level movement design that prevents collisions during full 360° rotation.
