Increasing use of smart factory automation and robotics is boosting demand for Rolec’s diecast handCASE handheld industrial electronic enclosures. The company says its tough, ergonomic handCASE is ideal for a wide range of applications including machine control, automation, robotics, agricultural equipment and vehicles. These diecast aluminium housings are light and comfortable to hold for long periods but robust enough to withstand extremely challenging working conditions.

Water treatment plants or sewage treatment plants are harsh environments. They are full of chemicals, bacteria and waste. This environment requires products that can withstand chemical wash downs, dirt and extreme temperatures, and Igus says its energy chains are ideal for this.

Igus says the triflex energy chain complements the Universal robots’ movements, enabling a smooth motion without damaging the cables. And in this video you will see just how easy it is to add the triflex energy chain to the universal robot.
