igus's guidelite plus guideway system, made of the new optimized material igumid EG +, is cost-effective and chemically resistant and is ideally suited for use in the electroplating industry and fertilizer production line. Due to its lightweight design and modular design, Very easy.
As we all know, the shortcomings of the metal guide system is easy to corrosion, complex assembly, cumbersome and expensive, and igus proposed a new solution as early as 2015, igus developed the first guidelite plus, towline on the market Offers a lightweight, easy-to-assemble and cost-effective plastic guideway. "Michael ßß, Head of igus Towline Division, said: 'This year we have further enhanced guidelite plus by using a new, highly chemical resistant, Performance and applies it to the towline that matches this guideway.It has a completely new mounting method and is also flexible in terms of length so that it can be adapted to different temperature and environmental conditions. "Made of igumid EG + wear-resistant material The guideway system is lighter and safer and can replace existing stainless steel and aluminum guideways.
The new material of the guidelite plus EG guide is chemically resistant and chemically resistant and is ideal for electroplating processes.
igumid EG +: Optimized material with high chemical resistance
The most important optimization of the guidelite plus is the use of the new material igumid EG +. This material is extremely hygroscopic and its extremely low water absorption makes it particularly suitable for applications such as highly corrosive chemicals in electroplating and fertilizer production More resistant to conventional common but expensive stainless steel materials such as V2A (304) and V4A igumid EG + materials can be used at temperatures from 0 ° C to + 100 ° C, The material has low sliding friction and is suitable for guideways and most towline chains. In addition, the material is free of halogen and silicon and is RoHS compliant and easy-to-read in blue color. Igumid EG + A modular towline power supply system with a chainflex high-flex cable with a TPE outer jacket is ideal for low-speed long-stroke applications under harsh conditions. Once the towline and guideway in the entire energy supply system Made of highly chemically resistant materials, they will be the best combination for taxiing applications.
Improve the assembly process with the new locking principle
The duct system made of engineering plastic is very lightweight and quick to install. In igus' assembly test, thanks to a practical, modular assembly method, the fitter can install a 30-meter guideway in less than three minutes without the need to With any tool, you can directly install the connecting channel side plate by hand and the locking device developed specifically for the system ensures its safety and reliability guidelite plus EG is modular in design and can be used in a variety of special applications, At the same time its quick assembly features, but also significantly reduce the working hours and reduce costs.
