Intertronics launches archytas series of robotic

integrations to automate adhesive processes
To enable manufacturing businesses across the UK
to automate multiple adhesive processes on one
machine, adhesives and dispensing equipment
specialist Intertronics has introduced the archytas
series of robotic integrations. Each cell is specified
and built to a customer’s individual needs to provide
them with accurate and repeatable processes,
improve health and safety and increase productivity.
The archytas series typically includes a robot and
is suitable for applications demanding accurate and
repeatable dispensing, surface preparation, metering
and mixing, UV curing and other processes. They
involve equipment from different manufacturers, chosen from Intertronics’ carefully selected
equipment partners, integrated into a bespoke cell that is designed, developed and
implemented while working closely with the customer.

Multi-property Igus tribo-polymers increase
machine service life and efficiency

Assessing the service life of a machine must take
account of the costs of purchase, procurement and
WHAT’S NEW... costs but also the risk of unscheduled shutdowns
installation, as well as all the costs incurred in the
long term operation, maintenance and repair of the
machine. Using wear-resistant materials and low-
maintenance components reduces not only running
and extensive maintenance work.
Motion plastics specialist Igus has many years of
experience and knowledge in developing and
producing of wear-resistant solutions made of tribo-
polymers, and it keeps a large database of these products in its own test laboratory. Many
machines today are well engineered and work hard, often running constantly. With high
physical demands on machines, searching for the most tribologically optimised component is
time well spent for every mechanical engineer.
