To mark the opening of its new 28,000ft2 UK headquarters in Northampton, igus is opening its doors to existing and potential customers, suppliers and press. The polymer bearings and energy chains manufacturer has scheduled the open day for Wednesday 29th March. It will be an informal event, with doors opening at 10.30am and a buffet lunch provided.

The agenda will feature factory tours and details of manus 2006, a competition looking to reward innovative plastic plain bearing applications from any industrial sector.

igus is the largest producer of polymer energy chains and bearings.

Energy chains house and protect moving cables over long and short distances at high speeds in all axes.

The bearings incorporate maintenance free plain, spherical and linear ranges, for which igus can predict the precise lifetime using test data.

'Chainflex' flexible cables can handle tight bending radii in dynamic applications.

They include control, robot, motor, data and servo cables.
