Innovative and diverse development of vending machinery

The possible uses of vending machines have become more diverse and with increasing mechanisation, many more innovations can be expected. vending machines no longer only fulfil the function of a point of sale, for example, they also serve as advertising space and can collect user data for monitoring. They have long been part of everyday life and are usually no longer particularly noticeable. Especially not if they work quietly and without any problems.

Vending machinery covers a wide range of industries and includes retail and catering technology as well as entertainment machines and access systems.

Quiet continuous operation thanks to maintenance-free components in vending machine

Storage points and gear in the payment system, shelves that can be pulled out with linear guides, electrical linear systems that move scanners or product dispensers, energy chains that guide cables: High demands are placed on all components in terms of function and design, and they are often in use around the clock. Our maintenance-free high-performance plastics ensure that the vending machine, which actually operates independently, is not permanently dependent on maintenance assistance from us humans.

Tested for real use in the test laboratory

All products are tested for wear and load-bearing capacity under real conditions in the igus® test laboratory, the largest in the industry. The results are fed into our tools for calculating service life and enable precise predictions to be made about durability.

Upon request, igus® also carries out customer tests to test the use of the products under very individual conditions.
