October 25, 2006 - Don’t miss the new products and upgrades on display at the igus® booth, #S-1379, next week during the show.

Some of the new things include:
• Igus’ first-ever linear actuator, DryLin® ZLW , which is designed for compact, quick positioning of lightweight parts.
• DryLin W compact linear guide system now available with a stainless steel shaft for clean, maintenance-free operation and optimal machine performance.

Other igus products designed for the packaging industry that will be on display include:
• DryLin linear slide tables available in a variety of options to suit almost any requirement from compact to fast-pitch to low-cost;
• compact igubal pivoting bearings to compensate for alignment errors; and
• iglide plastic plain bearings, which are an ideal replacement for bronze or re-circulating ball bearings. Iglide bearings need no oil; they are self-lubricating and maintenance-free. Iglide plastic is also used in igubal, DryLin and the gliding elements of all DryLin guide systems and tables, making igus’ entire line of machinery components lubrication free.

Pack Expo is held at McCormick Place in Chicago , Ill. , October 29 – November 2, 2006 . Igus is located at booth # S -1379.
