New Igus SLS material for electrostatically conductive wear-resistant parts

New Igus SLS material for electrostatically conductive wear-resistant parts

For safe and reliable production in the electronics and semiconductor industry, components are required that have electrostatically conductive properties. This is because even a small electric shock can destroy expensive production lines. Igus has now developed a new stable material for the SLS method so that users can make their wearing parts with ESD properties flexibly and cost-effectively. The lubrication-free special parts made of iglidur I8-ESD can be printed and shipped within just few days.

Four excuses not to take your enclosure cooling maintenance seriously

Four excuses not to take your enclosure cooling maintenance seriously

There is an adage that time is money, and this is particularly true when it comes to production downtime. Hold ups in production could result in lost money – a lot of lost money. Losses of up to £480,000 have been suggested that one of the UK’s largest automotive manufacturers could lose each hour when they experience downtime on their paint plant. Your overheads may not be as substantial as the above example, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the old adage you hear in every corner of business and production is true.
