Igus Wins the ‘iF design award' by his innovative design of product

With the numerous distinctions received in the last years, igus show the important that is him to the company conjugar in his novelties design advanced and functionality oriented to the user. The company finishes to be again distinguished with the iF product design award by three of his products. It treats of the tube portacables R4.1 light and the rack of setting readychain rack, as well as of the linear axis drylin SLT. With them they are already 31 products those that have received from 1987 this prize, that distinguishes the special degree of innovation, as well as the quality of the design, the material, the ergonomics, the functionality and the environingingmental compatibility of the products.

Cover them of the tube portacables R4.1 light enclosed can open to both sides. To his time, are designed in such a way that it do not penetrate to the interior of the tube almost any shaving. In the proof of hermeticidad only penetrated to the interior of the tube portacables 2,7 grams of shavings after more than 250.000 cycles of movement. His weight is 25% minor that the one of types equiparables, although it stands out by his high degree of stability, what allows to transport until 26 kilos of drivers by metre, since the system of double tope with big surfaces of arrest distributes óptimamente the load.

Thanks to the lateral position of the husillo beside the linear system of guided, achieves a height of minimum construction of the linear axis of so alone 20 millimetres and a constructive width of 45 millimetres. And because of his compact structure, only weighs 0,15 kg. It can accionar so much of manual form as with engine. His operation is fast, but silent and light, reaching a frequency of maximum twist of 1.000 min−1 and a maximum speed of 1,5 m/min. The husillo supported in threads of balls can supply with thread empinada or trapezoidal thread. Besides, they can purchase different steps of thread from warehouse. Thanks to his high provision, his reduced size and the operation without lubricante, the linear axis drylin is ideal for applications of automation in machines of beverages and foods and for machines expendedoras.

From does almost 20 years, igus supplies systems of chains portacables preconfeccionados readychain contributing like this to reduce the costs of process in the most miscellaneous sectors. To be able to mount them in the company of the customer still with greater rapidity and ease, has developed the readychain rack: a rack of transport and setting of modular structure composed by supports and modular crossbars that fit perfectly the ones in the others. Have telescopic function, what allows to adjust the length of the rack anytime. Diverse mechanisms of stick ensure that they can join up components subsequently. In collaboration with the customer is possible to mount in an alone day the system adapted in situ. The modifications that can arrive to be necessary by changes in the machine can realizar anytime without problem any thanks to the variability of the system. When it ceases the production of the series of machines of the customer, the rack of transport and setting can go back to disassemble in his individual pieces, and each one of his components can be reutilizado. Of this form, the new rack also contributes a greater protection of the environingingment and a more sustainable use of the resources, since up to now the racks of transport threw once finished the series.

IF design awards Explains today between the competitions of design bigger and important to international level. In the actuality, the Association ‘iF Industrie Forum Design and.V.' It awards three prizes: the iF product design award, the iF communications design award and the iF packaging design award. In these three categories explained in 2014 with more than 4.600 products, media and packagings concursantes pertinent of 55 countries. The technical innovations distinguished with the prize iF product design award are samples of functionality conjugada with intelligent design.
