Cosmetic Manufacturing with motion plastics

Reliable components for a continuous and automated production line.

The reliance of a continuous production line during cosmetic manufacturing means downtime should not be a concern. Therefore, careful selection of the right products is vital during cosmetic manufacturing. igus® components ensure a risk-free, agile manufacturing process thanks to our maintenance and lubrication-free qualities.
With industry 4.0, igus® condition monitoring products will eliminate the fear of unexpected downtime of your machines. Using an isense® energy chain in your production line will detect any fault in the chain, allowing you time to amend the problem and avoid any pause in production.

Printed in 3D: maintenance-free gripper for the packaging industry

Fast availability at a low price and use under hygienic conditions were important prerequisites for this 3D-printed gripper. It is used to package cosmetic products and has the special advantage of working without additional lubrication, hence fulfilling hygienic requirements.

More flexibility through 3D printing

Fully automatic labellers

Today, reliable and efficient machines are required for the labelling of products. What matters is a combination of speed, precision and flexibility. A failure of the labeller? That would be annoying and on top of that very costly. Bluhm Systeme GmbH therefore not only develops fully automated marking systems with labels, inkjet or laser, it also relies on durable and maintenance-free drylin® linear bearing technology.

I want to automate a cosmetic's production line, what igus® product is best suited for pick-and-place applications?
The drylin® delta robot's primary purpose is picking and placing objects, where it can perform up to 60 picks per minute. This can be increased by using more sophisticated PLCs to control the interpolation of the 3 x dryve D1 motor controllers.
