Lightweight, lubrication-free, cost-effective - components for vertical farming

The fact that only a small amount of land area is required for growing fruits and vegetables is only one of the advantages of vertical farming. Conventional farmland is hereby relieved, closed systems save water, year-round cultivation and harvesting are possible. Clever aloft cultivation offers many possibilities for automation. We have the right and affordable components to equip small projects or big farms. Our energy chains and cables guide data and media safely upwards even in the smallest installation spaces, weigh little and are easy to install. Plain and linear bearings made of high-performance plastic are FDA-compliant, the modular gearbox systems are fully compatible with the linear modules and our five-axis robolink robot arm can withstand a lot of work and splash water.

Benefits of igus products:

  • FDA-compliant
  • Lubrication-free
  • Corrosion-free
  • Dirt-resistant
  • Cost-effective
  • Predictable service life
  • Lightweight
  • Quiet
