Maintenance-free intralogistics solutions

Customer success stories within intralogistics

Pre-assembled cable guides for continuous use in storage and retrieval units

Requirements:
Standardised components with the aim of procuring subsystems from a single source wherever possible; use even at temperatures as low as -30 °C in deep-freeze storage, throughput of up to 30 double cycles per hour, high availability.

Success for the customer:
The ready-to-connect systems from igus® optimise the procurement process, streamline internal logistics and reduce assembly times; special connectors enable easy handling and reliably ensure power and signal transmission even at sub-zero temperatures.

The manufactuer

How do I make sure my AGVs are free from maintenance and lubrication?

Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) are intended to cover the longest possible distances in the warehouse completely autonomously over a long period of time. To do so, they and especially their mechanical components have to be absolutely maintenance-free. This blog post will tell you how to use lubrication-free linear and plain bearings for this purpose and what role slewing ring bearings play.

How can I save money with sensor technology in material handling?

Sensor technology is increasingly shaping the working environment in warehouses and picking areas to ensure that the logistics chain functions without interruption. In this blog post, we present a compact overview of how "i.Sense" sensor technology on the energy chain, cables or even individual plain bearings can provide more control and safety while saving costs.

Horizontal cable guidance in SRUs when space is scarce

When designing cable guides for storage and retrieval machines, two problems often arise: space and speed. How do I find a solution that increases the efficiency of my SRU?
With the autoglide 5 energy chain, we want to provide our customers with precisely this solution. In this blog post, you can find out at a glance what the cable guide can do and for which applications it is suitable.

Vertical cable guidance in SRUs when space is scarce

Busbar systems are often the perfect choice for vertical cable guidance systems in SRUs. The reason is usually their space-saving design.
Our "guidelite ECO" shows how energy chains can have a very narrow design and still guarantee a long service life that has been tested in the laboratory.
