Almost anywhere you turn, automation is present. This is especially true in manufacturing, where more and more tasks are being automated every day. Yet as much as automation can increase efficiency and profits, downtime is significantly more costly in an automated system. An easy way to avoid some of the most common causes of downtime in automated manufacturing is to use dry-running components and machines.
How can a robot be made dry-running? Simple: by implementing dry-running moving components, such as liners for gantries and delta robots or gears & gearboxes in robotic arms. The switch to dry-running components eliminates the need to lubricate your robot, as well as making it resistant to dirt and dust. Even better — fully-assembled, dry-running robots are available from igus®!
Gantries, delta robots and robotic arms are all sold directly by igus, as well as individual dry-running components that can be used in such applications. You can finally eliminate the need to manually lubricate components, and improve performance and service life at the same time.
