Reliable Medical Automation with Cost-Effective Robotics and Durable Energy Chains

QUEZON CITY, Philippines - Aug. 21, 2025 - PRLog -- Medical technology is one of Germany's most promising sectors through 2040, driven by innovations like AI and robotics. Automation boosts efficiency and lowers costs, making it accessible not just to large enterprises but also to SMEs. igus supports this shift with its affordable, lubrication-free Low Cost Automation solutions.

igus launched the RBTX marketplace in 2019 to make automation affordable and accessible. The platform offers over 1,000 modular components from 200+ manufacturers, with guaranteed compatibility. Complete solutions start at €2,000, focusing on user-friendly automation with ROI under 12 months—ideal for businesses of all sizes.

M2-Automation uses igus linear robots in a bioanalytics filling plant to meet strict space, chemical, and hygiene requirements. The modular room linear robots with drylin drive technology and energy chains offer precise, fast, and durable performance. Their compact design optimizes lab space and adapts flexibly to different container sizes—ideal for cost-effective, high-accuracy lab automation.

AIS Bad Düben uses igus components in its "IAC 14" CleanUp vending machine for automated sample prep in trace analysis. igus energy chains and linear technology ensure safe cable guidance in tight spaces and lubrication-free movement to prevent contamination. The durable, hygienic design meets strict lab standards while offering long-lasting, low-maintenance performance.

igus energy chains are vital in automation, guiding power and data like an "umbilical cord" for machines. Made from wear-resistant plastic, they support complex movements—even over long distances. At ETH Zurich's biomechanics lab, igus chains ensure reliable cable management in a mobile X-ray system tracking joint motion, with E4.56 and P4.42 chains enabling smooth vertical and horizontal travel across 20 meters.

igus energy chains support complex automation, including 3D movements in X-ray robots, with torsion-resistant triflex chains. For cleanroom environments, igus offers abrasion-free options like E6, e-skin flat, and e-skin soft—tested by Fraunhofer IPA and in-house labs. All chains undergo rigorous testing, enabling online service life calculation and a 4-year guarantee. Their durability and lubrication-free design make them ideal for everything from simple pick-and-place tasks to advanced surgical robotics.
