Smart Plastics by igus at Hannover Messe 2024 | ReBeL Cobots for ₹3,60,000 | Sustainable Engineering

The ongoing debate about plastics - inherently wrong or just mismanaged - takes a revolutionary turn with igus's latest innovation: Smart Plastics. This groundbreaking approach is set to redefine the engineering landscape, especially in cable management and flexible cables. At the recently concluded Hannover Messe 2024 Press Preview, igus unveiled a glimpse of what to expect at the main event in April 2024, showcasing their pioneering Smart Plastics technology.
Igus's Smart Plastics are engineered with integrated sensor systems that detect critical parameters such as cable breakage, push/pull forces, tension, and electrical resistance. This integration facilitates real-time monitoring and condition-based maintenance, thereby significantly mitigating the risk of unforeseen operational disruptions and failures. The core of this innovative leap is the i.Sense system, designed to continuously monitor the health of cable carriers and flexible cables, ensuring any deviation from normal operations is promptly identified and addressed.
During a conversation with Hari Shanker, the Managing Editor of Machine Maker, Michael Begmann from igus's Digital Sales & Marketing department delved deeper into the capabilities of Smart Plastics and the i.Sense system. These technologies promise enhanced reliability and efficiency and pave the way for smarter, more sustainable engineering solutions.
Moreover, Michael highlighted ReBeL®, a lightweight cobot (collaborative robot) prepared for seamless human-robot collaboration. With an astonishing price point of around ₹3,60,000, ReBeL® is poised to democratise access to advanced automation for a wide range of applications. This initiative underscores igus's commitment to fostering innovation that is both accessible and impactful.
For those eager to witness the future of Smart Plastics and Cobots in action, a visit to Igus's booth at Hannover Messe 2024 is a must. Stay connected with Machine Maker for further updates and insights into how igus and other industry leaders are shaping the future of manufacturing and engineering with their smart, sustainable solutions.
