Tech up Cost down- Why it's important

Reduce the cost without sacrificing machine performance" This balancing act is difficult to achieve. Preference now a days is to use maintenance free simple part solution that can have a positive long term impact on profitability. Every day, our design engineers, buyers and developers all over the world ask themselves questions to do with one particular topic: "How can I make moving parts better and more cost-effective?" 

Answer is very simple after eliminating problem causing wear of motion part but implication is very tricky. Last week I have created a poll for "what causes bearing failure?"

55% people voted for inadequate lubrication so if we are able to shift to lubrication free solution then definitely this would be one step towards "Tech up Cost down".

 Lubrication free motion plastics from igus are developed exactly for this purpose: to improve things that move and, at the same, time lower costs: Tech up, Cost down ... and we always want to achieve at least one of these aims, this being the goal of all igus products. Other benefits: fast delivery time, whereby goods are shipped after a minimum of only 24hrs; online service-life calculability for nearly all product lines, often with a 36-month guarantee.
