That was EuroShop 2023

From 26 February to 2 March, the retail world met in the Düsseldorf fair halls. We were also there as an exhibitor and this time we had our food service robots and retail automation helpers with us. Our low-cost robotics support you with time-consuming routine tasks and provide flexible assistance in times of staff shortages.

Get a glimpse of the igus fair stand with a short presentation of our low-cost automation for retail in the video. ➔

Food service equipment

From the selection of the ingredients to the preparation and serving of food and drinks - with Kitchen Automation (Food Service Automation) all these activities can be carried out by machines. Room linear robots remove ingredients from the shelf, and cooking robots process them. Barista robots brew and serve fresh coffee. And delta robots fix a burger with pick & place.

The rotating, pivoting and linear movements in all these processes are guaranteed with our cost-effective, maintenance-free bearings, gearboxes and low-cost robotic components.

Components for vending machines

At train stations, airports, in break rooms and increasingly in self-service stores that are open 24 hours a day, vending machines are becoming increasingly popular. There are numerous models, but many of the requirements for the moving parts are the same. Lead screws and nuts, linear rails, plain bearings, gears or cable guides should primarily work reliably, with the least possible maintenance and low costs. This is where our motion plastics come into play.
