– Platforms for lifting and transporting light loads (Evolift)
– Ergonomic modular workbenches
– Goods trolleys and customized instrumentation
Where will your application be used? In which industry?
It can be used in all sectors: wherever there is a need to move loads.
What can your plant/machine/project do in particular?
One of the strong points of the Rievo brand is customization. Having both an in-house design office and production department allows us to design and produce custom-made lifts in the shortest time possible. The customization of Evolift lifts does not only apply to the type of platform, but also to the legs, column, counterweights, wheels, spacers and even the color. Each lift can be enriched with optional extras to make it even more versatile, functional and smart. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
What are the deployment/environmental conditions at the end user? What challenges did you have to solve?
Lifting system: We work extensively in the pharmaceutical and food industries where the use of oils is not possible. For this reason we use a belt system instead of systems that require oil to operate, such as worm screws and oil cylinders. In addition, our range of lifting systems is also produced in stainless steel to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical and food industries, for example. They are very versatile as they are also used in environments where the environmental conditions are not particularly favorable (such as machine shops where there are oils on the floor).
The Evolift range is divided into 3 families of lifts: EVO80 ( speed 100mm/s, acceleration without ramp unless optional equipment is installed, stroke length variable depending on column length and in the L version the useful stroke is 1635mm) EVO150 ( speed 75mm per second, acceleration with programmable ramp according to customer requirements and lift operating conditions, variable stroke length according to column length and in version L the useful stroke is 1510mm) EVO200 ( speed 75mm/s, acceleration with programmable ramp according to customer requirements and lift operating conditions, variable stroke length according to column length and in version L the useful stroke is 1380mm)
What requirements did the energy chains and cables have to meet?
How has the igus® product contributed to increasing efficiency or optimizing costs?
Igus products are versatile and offer many configurations, several sizes of cable chains. Once you choose your chain, you can have a wide selection of attachment links that allow you to tailor the specific chain to each different lift design.
Which products do you use?
- 04 E2 micro 04.10.018.0;
- chainflex® CF5.10.07
- Serie 08 E2 micro 08.16.028.0
In which places? How could the products solve your problems?
Machine point: Between the fixed battery compartment of the machine and the mobile motorized table Being part of a hoist and therefore the mobility of the table being an important feature, speed and compactness are essential: we need a flexible and small chain and cable so as not to hinder the typical operation of the hoist and the user during work.
What alternative solutions could be considered?
No installation of cable chain + mobile cable, but insertion of spiral cable for connection of battery compartment to motorized plane.
Is there a sustainability aspect to your application?
Yes, we do not use oils: it is electric and therefore does not emit CO2
Was there a cooperation with igus®? If so, how did this go?
Yes as per good customer-supplier relationship.

Bitte beschreiben Sie Ihre Anlage/ Ihre Maschine/ Ihr Projekt. Welche Funktion hat Ihre Anwendung?
BirdVision® ist ein in der Entwicklung befindliches Kamerasystem, das an Windenergieanlagen zum Einsatz kommt, um dort Vögel zu erkennen. Fliegen die Vögel in den Gefahrenbereich ein, sendet BirdVision® ein elektronisches Stoppsignal an die Windenergieanlage, wodurch sich die Rotorblätter verlangsamen, sodass die Vögel nicht mehr gefährdet sind. So werden Vogelarten geschützt und unnötige Schlagopfer vermieden. Hauptziel von BirdVision® ist es, für die Windenergie Potenzialflächen zur Verfügung zu stellen, die seither aufgrund des Artenschutzes nicht zur Verfügung standen oder nur schwer zu erschließen wären. Mit BirdVision® sollen der Arten- und Klimaschutz in Einklang gebracht werden.
Das Projekt beinhaltet die Weiterentwicklung der fest installierten BirdVision®-Stereotechnologie in eine mobile Version, in Form eines Anhängers zur Technologieerprobung.
Auf dem doppelachsigen Anhänger sind sechs ausklappbare PV-Module (mit ca. 2 kW) montiert, die bei gutem Wetter den Strom für BirdVision® liefern. Sollte es jedoch einmal bewölkt sein, befindet sich im Innern ein großes Batteriesystem mit 9,6 kW, dass das System über längere Zeit mit Energie versorgen kann. Für den Notfall ist zusätzlich ein Generator, mit dazugehörigem Gassystem verbaut, sodass eine vollständige Funktionalität von BirdVision® bei allen Wetterlagen gewährleistet ist. Der Vorteil des Gassystems ist, dass keine umweltschädlichen Stoffe austreten können und so auch Untersuchungen in bspw. In Naturschutzgebieten stattfinden können.
Die Kameras werden an einem ausziehbaren Mast montiert, sodass eine Höhe von bis zu acht Metern erreicht wird, um das umliegende Gelände gut überschauen zu können.
Wo wird Ihre Anwendung eingesetzt? In welcher Branche?
BirdVision® wird für die Windenergiebranche entwickelt. Ein Augenmerk liegt dabei auf Onshore Anlagen mit unebener topografischer Lage, dennoch kann das autonome Vogelerkennungssystem auch auf flacher Ebene eingesetzt werden.
Was kann Ihre Anlage/ Ihre Maschine/ Ihr Projekt besonderes leisten?
Mit BirdVision® werden Artenschutz und umweltfreundliche Energieerzeugung in Einklang gebracht.
Wie stellen sich die Einsatz-/Umgebungsbedingungen beim Endanwender dar? Welche Herausforderungen mussten Sie dazu lösen?
Die Herausforderung des mobilen Vogeldetektionssystems bestand darin 12 GigE- und 12 Steuerleitungen an einem stufenlos, ausfahrbaren Mast in bis zu acht Meter Höhe zu bewegen. Eine Besonderheit dabei war, dass dies bei jeder Witterung reibungslos und ohne großes Zutun des Bedieners stattfinden sollte. Weiterhin musste gewährleistet sein, dass die Konstruktion auch im ausgefahrenen Zustand und bei Sturmböen so stabil ist, dass die Leitungen sicher gehalten werden. Da das System dennoch mobil bleiben muss, ist es natürlich auch wichtig, dass das Gewicht so gering wie möglich gehalten wurde.
Welche Anforderungen mussten die Energieketten und Leitungen erfüllen?
- Anderes Prozesssicherheit
Wie hat das igus® Produkt zur Effizienzsteigerung oder Kostenoptimierung beitragen können?
Welche Produkte setzen Sie ein?
- Energiekette(n) Serie 2500
- chainflex® Leitungen TPE Steuer-Ltg.
- Anderes 2100.34PZ+ und IE80.5406
An welchen Stellen? Wie konnten die Produkte Ihre Probleme lösen?
An einem bis zu 8 m ausfahrbaren Mast 12 GigE- und 12 Steuerleitungen zu bewegen.
Die ZickZack Kette bietet den Vorteil, dass sie sehr platzsparend und leichtgewichtig ist. Diese Eigenschaften sind von besonderer Relevant, da der manuell ausahrbare Mast nicht so stark belastet werden darf.
Hinzu kommt, dass die igus® Kette gleich bestückt, mit allen Leitungen und anschlussfertig geliefert werden konnte.

Hinzu kommt, dass die igus® Kette gleich bestückt, mit allen Leitungen und anschlussfertig geliefert werden konnte.
Welche alternativen Lösungen kamen in Betracht?
Eine der ersten Ideen war, die Kabel beim Transport als Schlaufe an der Außenseite des Anhängers zu befestigen und beim Auf- und Abbau diese wiederum händisch am Mast zu befestigen. Dieses Vorgehen hätte jedoch einen sehr hohen personellen Aufwand und eine weitere Fehlerquelle mit sich gebracht.
Die zweite Idee war, die Kabel aufzurollen und ein igus® e-Spool System zu verwenden, jedoch war dies ebenfalls nicht zielführend, da hierfür viel Bauraum benötigt würde. Zusätzlich wäre es notwendig gewesen, die Kette aktiv einzudrehen, was entweder motorisch oder mit Federkraft erfolgen müsste und somit wieder zusätzliche Last auf dem Mast gekommen wäre.

Gibt es einen Nachhaltigkeitsaspekt bei Ihrer Anwendung?
Die Nachhaltigkeit des Produktes besteht darin, dass zukünftige potenzielle Standorte von Windkraftanlagen vorab geprüft werden können, ob dort eine gefährdete Vogelpopulation vorhanden ist oder nicht. Das gibt den Anlagenplanern und den Naturschützern die Sicherheit, die sie benötigen, um den Ausbau von Windkraftanlagen an Land voranzutreiben.
Durch das System können nicht nur personelle Kapazitäten und Ressourcen eingespart werden, sondern es wird auch die Möglichkeit geschaffen nachhaltigen Strom zu erzeugen. Somit kann ein entscheidender Beitrag zum Klimaschutz beigetragen werden, indem der Artenschutz und die Energieerzeugung harmonisiert werden.

Gab es eine Zusammenarbeit mit igus®? Wenn ja, wie verlief diese?
Ja, es gab eine sehr intensive Zusammenarbeit mit igus®, da es ein längerer Weg bis zur jetzigen Lösung war. Herr van der Viven von igus®,hat uns hier sehr weitergeholfen. Wir haben mit ihm im direkten Austausch gestanden und nach einigen Umwegen und diversen Annäherungsschritten sowie Änderungen haben wir die jetzige Lösung, mit der wir sehr zufrieden sind, gemeinsam erarbeitet.
Die ZickZack Kette erfordert eine spezielle Montage der Kettenglieder und so wurde die Kette zuerst falsch montiert geliefert. Dieses Problem wurde beim Aufbau des Anhängers erkannt und an igus® kommuniziert. igus® hat dann die Kette vor Ort durch einen Außendienstmitarbeiter zeitnah prüfen und umgehend abholen lassen, sodass die Kette neuaufgebaut wieder an uns zurückgeschickt wurde und der Anhänger in Betrieb genommen werden konnte.

Please describe your plant/machine/project. What is the function of your application?
The station is designed for automatic sheet metal bending, using an ABB robot and a Baykal press brake. Using one gripper, the robot handles the following two workpieces, each in five sizes: Vacuum gripper:
– „plate front“ detail in modular sizes from 1 to 5 modules.
– The „back cover“ detail in modular sizes from 1 to 5 modules.
– „plate front“ detail in modular sizes from 1 to 5 modules.
– The „back cover“ detail in modular sizes from 1 to 5 modules.
Where will your application be used? In which industry?
In the electrical industry, the manufacture of medium voltage switchgear – SafeRing ABB.
What can your plant/machine/project do in particular?
The machine is connected to a conveyor, the robot in automatic mode puts metal sheets on the conveyor, then the sheet "rides" to the next station. I can not say what works exceptionally well in the machine, certainly it is a huge relief for workers due to the weight of the workpiece (about 60kg). Work for 3 people, one operates the press and two insert the details.
What are the deployment/environmental conditions at the end user? What challenges did you have to solve?
Environmental conditions were difficult at the clamp, the old guide was pulled down with a balancer and had to be very tight. This caused damage to the valve island and damage to the guide itself (it was made of hard material and also had a tension cable in it)
What requirements did the energy chains and cables have to meet?
How has the igus® product contributed to increasing efficiency or optimizing costs?
The Igus product eliminated frequent balancer changes and robot stops due to overloading the axes when the old slides snagged on actuators used on the vacuum gripper. It eliminated machine downtime.
Which products do you use?
- E-Chain TRE.RS.70
In which places? How could the products solve your problems?
Application – supply of electric and pneumatic power to the gripper.
What alternative solutions could be considered?
Alternatively, we had an old guide of another mold that did not perform as expected.
Is there a sustainability aspect to your application?
No.
Was there a cooperation with igus®? If so, how did this go?
We have long cooperated with Igus in other areas than guides. The cooperation took place through a notification on the website, then a representative of your company proposed a meeting, came to the meeting fully prepared, brought a sample system that we liked very much (retraction system). Then he made an analysis and presented an offer.
