Highlighting their commitment to green energy and sustainable practices, Igus unveiled the world’s first bicycle made entirely from recycled ocean plastics. Alongside this, the company displayed its cutting-edge Ready Chain Systems, EQ Series Drag Chains, and the RBTX Platform – an online marketplace for robots, as well as Delta Robots for high-speed automation applications.
Energy chains from igus are already being reliably used in hundreds of thousands of applications all over the world. From beverage machines up to steelworks, from simple linear applications up to the most complicated task - igus offers thousands of installation options. With more than 1,350 chainflex cables from stock, igus offers the largest range of cables specifically for energy chains. Thanks to the industry's largest test laboratory, igus is the only supplier in the market able to offer a 4-year guarantee on all chainflex cables. All standard plug-in connections and more than 6,000 drive cables suitable for 34 manufacturer standards are available. In addition, the modern sensor systems from smart plastics for intelligent condition monitoring and predictive maintenance can be integrated directly into the ready-to-install energy supply.
A readychain® system consists of many components: energy chain, highly flexible cables, connectors, metal sheets, mounting frames. For the production of machines and equipment, there are many good reasons to decide in favour of ready-to-install energy chains:
- Harnessing time is reduced by up to 95%
- Reduction in manufacturing costs
- Minimal amount of logistics work - no storage space necessary
- Procurement optimisation - one system, one part number
- Reduced assembly time - less machine downtime
- On-site installation - international service with 31 subsidiaries
- Special designs are possible - igus is developing further components
AGV and multi-axis articulated robots as a complete system on RBTX: the igus low-cost robotics marketplace
New in the product range: cost-effective mobile robots. Three installation sizes with robot arm, control with igus Robot Contro, that is the first choice to flexibly and efficiently solve automation tasks in the lower and medium performance range. Communication between the control system and the software of the same name takes place via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. In addition, the control system offers several interfaces via different communication protocols through integrated functions, such as the Modbus or the CRI interface developed in-house. The integrated I/O modules and powerful communication interfaces make both simple and sophisticated machine concepts possible. igus Robot Control allows for simple, intuitive robot programming and control, making it easy to get started with automation. With the modular design, users can control various igus kinematics, such as delta robots, linear robots or articulated robots.
Inspiration Behind the Product Launch
The primary inspiration for Igus’ eco-friendly bicycle comes from the company’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainability within the manufacturing industry. The bicycle, crafted from collected ocean waste plastics, symbolises Igus’ commitment to addressing environmental challenges and contributing to cleaner oceans. This aligns with their broader initiative to integrate green energy solutions and sustainable practices into every aspect of their product development.
Target Customers and Challenges Faced
Igus’ target audience includes manufacturers from industries such as automotive, robotics, and automation, as well as companies committed to reducing their environmental footprint.
Why IMTEX for the Launch
IMTEX 2025 provided the perfect stage for Igus to showcase these breakthrough products. As a premier trade fair for the manufacturing sector in Asia, IMTEX brought together industry professionals, decision-makers, and innovators who are eager to explore the latest trends in automation, robotics, and sustainability.
