The vector award for the best e-chain applications from igus inc. is entering its eighth round – and applications will be accepted until February 11, 2022.
They rotate by 7,000 degrees, travel at speeds of up to 10 meters per second and move three-dimensionally like snakes: e-chain cable carriers made of high-performance plastics. Every two years, a panel of expert judges presents the vector award and up to 5,000 euros of prize money to the most fascinating projects and their developers.
Classical mechanical engineering is no longer the only place e-chain cable carriers made of plastic are found. All over the world, they ensure that cables and hoses are guided safely – in space, at sea, and underground. In thousands of projects, energy supply systems and cables perform their tasks, overcoming great challenges – from strict particle-free requirements in cleanrooms, in the semiconductor industry to high chemical resistance in electroplating, to dirt resistance in mining to chips and sparks in woodworking.
然后有紧凑的安装空间，高速，甚至杂技扭转运动。载体奖励良好的荣誉精确的这些独特的能源供应解决方案和电子链系统的独特应用。
“竞争是我们作为制造商在成品机器和系统中使用我们的产品的绝佳机会，并学习更多关于应用程序的更令人兴奋的故事，”Igus GmbH和其中一名法官。“恰当地，我们正在庆祝塑料能源连锁塑料能源连锁队与客户的50周年。”
The vector award comes with prize money of up to 5,000 euros. Last year alone, there were 266 entries from 32 countries. The winners will be selected by a panel of expert judges from the fields of science, industry, and specialist media and associations and will receive their awards at the 2022 Hannover Trade Show.
Up until February 11, 2022, developers can submit projects that they have already completed. In addition to the gold, silver, and bronze vector awards, there is also a green vector award.
“Many industrial companies – like igus – are increasingly tackling the problem of sustainability. For example, customers can return their used e-chains to us. We sort the material by type and recycle it to produce granulate for new products. That’s why it was important for us as the initiator of the vector award – together with the judges – to also honor sustainable projects with a special prize,” says Michael Blass. The prize was spontaneously awarded to two projects at the last vector awards.
The vector award recognizes unique, challenging applications involving energy supply systems and cables.
