Examples of successful applications in the woodworking industry

In their feeding solution with AI-supported quality inspection, the engineers at Aramet rely on our lubrication-free and dirt-resistant linear and plain bearing technology as well as compact energy chains.

Thanks to the igus interface solution, the customer is able to unplug and plug in the self-coded assembly at all times - absolutely securely and without specialist personnel. The individually configured assemblies of the Module Connect solutions now offer a high degree of modularity and reliable production processes.

The twisterband is the perfect solution for HOMAG for this application. This is because they needed an energy supply system that allows them to pivot an edge banding unit using five-axis technology.

The readychain systems have been used in HOMAG Automation GmbH's stacking and storage systems for over 20 years. Thanks to their use, electrical assembly times have been almost halved.

Aloysius Krenzer KG uses drylin linear bearings in its pallet production systems. In contrast to conventional ball bearings, significantly longer service life can be achieved here.

Wood dust, high pressure and high temperatures: The environmental conditions for the bearings of machines that assemble wood veneers are anything but ideal. The iglidur G plastic bearings prove themselves under these extreme conditions.

KRPAN machines are used in forestry and firewood production and have to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as wood dust, chips and dirt. When it comes to bearing technology, the manufacturer relies on our lubrication-free igubal spherical insert bearings.

SERRA Maschinenbau GmbH has found a maintenance-free and lubrication-free solution with plastic bearings made from the material iglidur J. As these are lubrication-free, dust, dirt and wood chips do not adhere to the bearing.

Trima Triebeser Maschinenbau GmbH uses igus energy chains and e-chains with extender crossbars for the cables and suction hoses of their machines. The reason is that what counts here is robust and at the same time flexible guidance.

For its grinding machines, Cabinet D'etudes Techniques Robert uses drylin T rail guides, W profile guides, and iglidur G flange mounted bearings due to their low maintenance.

Thanks to their high torsional strength, the e-chains offer secure guidance in 3D movement. In addition, chainflex cables guarantee trouble-free continuous operation.

Even when the machine is surrounded by flying swarf, no fine dust gets into the chain joints of the igus e-chains. Due to the large selection, IMA Klessmann GmbH did not need a customised product, but was able to fall back on off-the-shelf products.

The hybrid cables in the chainflex product range have been tested by IMA Klessmann under the most adverse conditions and are used in the new flexible IMAGIC flex drilling systems.
