The enjoyneering experience

Technicians and engineers are often naturally curious and have a strong urge to explore. Experimenting with new technologies and ideas results in innovative solutions and products. This creative process helps to push the boundaries of what is possible and open up new perspectives in technology and production.

This is the reason for us creating the igus® enjoyneering experience.

Customers can visit our site in Northampton and can see first hand the products and innovations we have that can help your application fulfil its potential.

From walking down our sample street, to immersing yourself in our meteverse, the day can be tailored to your needs or requests.

Discovering fascinating possibilities with new technologies

We at igus have also experimented a lot with new technologies and tried out how we can utilise them for our customers and products. This has opened up unknown doors and unimagined opportunities. It is fascinating what is suddenly possible thanks to such digital revolutions:

This is how a journalist describes her experience during a preview of the iguverse, the digital world of igus.

Digital world? Virtual reality? Augmented reality? Aren't these all terms that are familiar from the techie world and make you wonder whether it's just a hype that will soon pass?

Bike rides on the igus® plastic bike

Not only do we have a few on display in the office, showcasing the technicality of materials used, we also sell the components which we can discuss while you are here.

If you fancy taking a ride, stick a helmet on and off you go!

Support & advice

We have at least 1 engineer/ product manager for each of our sides of the business to help explain about the products, their technical properties and how they can be used in applications.

Throughout the tour, we have colleagues on hand to answer any questions or to explain products in more detail.

Our "sample street"

Take a walk along the sample street.

2 displays highlighting a large range of our products. There is an engineer for both product groups on hand to help with questions, technical advice and support.

We have further displays dotted throughout the office highlighting and showcasing different industries such as: medical. PTFE-free, Heavy Duty, FDA as well as our low cost automation platform RBTX

iguverse

Enter the igus® metaverse. We have created a virtual reality to showcase industries and applications that perhaps wouldn't be accessible on your standard every day.

Examples such as: climbing up an oil rig, placing your head into a car seat to see how the mechanisms work and picking up a bicycle with one hand.

Customers have the option of purchasing a "room/ space" to showcase applications to potential customers. This can save money, space and time.

All you need is a headset!

Low cost automation test area

Our Low cost automation showroom doubles up as a test area where we can test customer applications as well as trial new ideas and innovations. On the tour, you will visit the test area and see various robots up and running, showcasing some of LCA robotics.

If you have an application you want us to test before you invest, just drop us a line and let us know.
