Energy supply systems for the press plant

Robust and quiet at high speed

Large cycle numbers at high speeds and accelerations, large forces, an oily environment: components in the pressing plant must be able to withstand a lot. At the same time, they must meet stringent requirements, since the pressing process must not have downtime, but also be smooth, efficient, and as fast as possible. igus components are designed precisely for such requirements – they are at their best during challenging movements.

Success stories

E-Chain Automotive Strohtmann

Energy safely guided in high-speed sheet feeder

By using linear motor technology, Strothmann GmbH has set new standards in terms of performance and speed. The energy supply with the E6 is perfectly tailored to the high speed and acceleration values and allows a continuous, reliable supply even over longer distances.

Precise and maintenance-free bearings in rolling machine for mudguards

In a rolling machine for aluminium profiles for the production of lorry mudguards, steel bearings were previously used for the lifting system of the pressure roller. Since these always had to be lubricated and they were not precise in function, they were replaced by completely lubrication-free and maintenance-free drylin linear rails and iglidur plain bearings.
