Igus would now like to make the B2B business "Amazon-like": Without in-depth technical know-how and CAD software, users can now get the right one Screw and the accompanying drawing. With the new spindle configurator everyone can choose from the world's largest Thread shop design individually manufactured and durable threaded spindles.
Whether trapezoidal, steep or metric thread: threaded spindles provide in combination with the nut "iglidur"-High-performance polymers for a lubrication-free adjustment with a long-lasting and smooth running of the Ball Screws or ball screw.
The way to the right drive solution has previously meant a lot of effort and necessary know-how in technical drawing. From determining the correct parameters to machining the spindle, designing it with a CAD program and checking for technical plausibility to ordering, the process took a few hours to several days.
For this reason, the Motion Plastics specialist has now developed the new tool for easy configuration of the optimal spindle, which directly checks the plausibility of the configuration. In this way everyone becomes a designer without any CAD software. In three steps, the user can customize his spindle in z. B. Design length, slope or other properties, edit the tenons and generate a dimension drawing directly. Then he can do that 3D model Download its configuration and order the fully configured threaded spindle or request a binding offer.
Three steps to the right threaded spindle
The configuration takes place very quickly, within three steps: In the first step, the customer can determine the thread type. In addition to the classic trapezoidal thread and the metric thread, the user also has the option of "Dryspin "-Steilgewinde to choose. This is a thread patented by Igus, which ensures higher efficiency through an optimized flank angle.
After selecting the thread type, the user can determine the thread direction, the material and the length of the threaded spindle. The second step is the Configuration of the tenons. Here the configurator offers the user the option of editing the base body from the outside in and adding 12 standard elements such as chamfer, clamping surface or locking ring to the pin.
In the configuration process of the threaded spindle, the constructor download the current dimension drawing directly at any time. Another service: the price of the threaded spindle is displayed. In this way, the user can see the price change while processing. In the third step, the customer receives a complete overview of his configuration.
He can download the step file for further construction of his application, save the configuration for follow-up orders as a link or share it with colleagues. With a simple click the configured Order threaded spindle online. The order is automatically sent to the Igus factory, where it starts within 30 minutes.
