igus Unveils Compact Energy Solution for Vertical Automation

SINGAPORE - June 9, 2026 - PRLog -- At LogiMAT 2026, igus introduces the guidelok slimline GLSL.P.S.2, a next-generation energy supply system engineered for space-saving vertical material handling. Designed for storage and retrieval units, lifts, and cranes, the solution enables reliable cable guidance at heights of up to 50 metres, addressing growing demands for compact warehouse design.

As intralogistics systems evolve toward narrower aisles and higher racks, conventional solutions such as busbars and bulky metal guide troughs fall short—being inflexible, heavy, and complex to install. The igus guidelok slimline GLSL.P.S.2 overcomes these constraints with a lightweight, fibre-reinforced plastic design, delivering efficient power, control, and data transmission within minimal space.

The system integrates e-chain 2700 technology with paired U-shaped guide rails and intelligent guidelok stabilisation elements, preventing lateral movement, vibration, and noise. This ensures smooth operation at speeds up to 7 m/s and accelerations up to 10 m/s², supporting high-performance automation environments.

With a width of less than 350 mm and depth of just 226 mm, the solution offers exceptional space efficiency. Its low weight compared to metal alternatives reduces system load, while pre-assembled components enable fast, simple installation with minimal adjustment. Additionally, optional smart sensor integration supports predictive maintenance, enhancing uptime and reliability.

Key benefits of the igus guidelok slimline GLSL.P.S.2 include:

• Compact design for confined spaces
• Lightweight, durable materials for improved efficiency
• High dynamic performance for modern automation
• Quick installation with pre-configured modules
• Future-ready monitoring with smart sensor options

With this innovation, igus continues to set new standards in energy supply systems for intralogistics, enabling smarter, more efficient vertical automation.
