The digital era is well and truly upon us and this year Igus introduces ‘enjoyneering’ as a term to encourage engineers to use more digital methods to help design and problem solving.

With the automotive industry being such a high cost per hour, it is vital that all machinery runs as smoothly as possible and with minimal maintenance. Energy chains from Igus have proved key.

Automation doesn’t need to be complicated and doesn’t always have to be industrial. In this video, the modular ReBeL cobot arm from Igus shows the variation of movement possible, the accuracy and the simplicity of programming.

With ctrlX MOTION from Bosch Rexroth, simple cartesian handling tasks, pick and place applications as well as highly dynamic applications with numerous synchronised axes can be implemented.
