Igus offers its customers a new online tool to configure, print and receive plastic gear wheels in a short time.According to the German company, it takes just a minute to fine-tune the desired product, even with special sizing, which can be ordered online to receive it conveniently in the company.Simply enter the main parameters such as module, number of teeth, width and internal diameter in the online configurator.The 3D model is processed in real time to be examined at 360 ° before exporting it as a STEP file.With this file, using the igus 3D printing service, the toothed wheel is 3D printed, with the SLS technique, and shipped to the customer within three days from the order;alternatively you can ask for a quote without a minimum volume.The component is produced with iglidur I6 technopolymer, specially developed by the German company for this application;a material which - according to the manufacturer - stands out for its high resistance to wear, so much so as to exceed, in the test phase, the performance of gear wheels mechanically machined with standard technopolymers such as POM and PBT.In particular, helical wheels were tested on which a torque of 5 Nm at 12 rpm was applied.According to igus, the prototype made of laser-sintered PA12 material has already stopped after 521 cycles, with a very high increase in the coefficient of friction.The gearwheel produced with the new laser sintered material (3D-SLS) iglidur I6 showed only negligible slight wear after one million cycles and was still fully efficient.In comparison with POM, this material showed total wear after 621,000 cycles, while the gear wheels obtained from PBT machining broke after 155,000 cycles.Headquartered in Cologne, Germany, Igus is one of the leading manufacturers of plastic components for automation, such as energy chain systems and bearings.With 3,180 employees, it generated a turnover of 592 million euros in 2016.© Polimerica - Reproduction reservedFounded in 1950, Union Officine Meccaniche spa is today a solid and modern company, leader in the extrusion sector of rigid and expanded materials, specialized in the construction of complete high-tech systems and components suitable for implementing existing systems.Union is one of the few plant construction companies that has maintained a workshop in its structure with all the mechanical processes, which allow the internal construction of the extrusion lines.Solidity, flexibility, ease of use, extrusion quality control systems and high performance characterize the entire production of Union, which, in order to become increasingly competitive in the ever-changing market of plastic extrusion, constantly updates its offer, with lines dedicated to numerous application areas such as industry, construction, food packaging, medical-pharmaceutical, advertising and renewable energy.We are able to develop specific projects, providing maximum support in all phases of the process, from consultancy to the project, up to the construction and installation of the system.Union is constantly engaged in the development of new extrusion technologies, today more than ever with particular attention to the environment: low energy consumption, high profitability, reduction of the weight of finished products, and last but not least the reuse of post-consumer plastics. , giving them a new and significant added value.Via I Maggio, 12/14 - 20028 San Vittore Olona (MI) Tel: +39 0331 519300 - Fax: +39 0331 518370 Web: www.unionextrusion.it/ - Email: info@unionextrusion.itVia Gasdotto, 25 - 36078 Valdagno (VI) Tel: 0445/951375 - Fax: 0445/953964 Web: www.gpdipiazzon.it - Email: info@gpdipiazzon.itOpen Mold stems from a strong market need to encourage online meetings between plastics printers and mold manufacturers, other types of equipment and services necessary for a project.From Open Mold comes the innovative global platform that simplifies the purchase and comparison procedures and reduces time and costs.The Open Mold platform is one tool to do it all.Using Open Mold, printing companies (Buyers) have the possibility to publish Requests for Quotation (RFQ), while mold manufacturing companies (Supplier) can participate in these RFQs, proposing their best offer.However, the cornerstone of our work is security, in fact we use a protected system according to the most stringent regulations: Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) and Swiss Data Protection Ordinance (DPO).
