Protoworx TINY V2 3D Printer: Precision and Durability with igus Components

The Hannover Messe offers companies the platform to showcase innovative products for various industries. At the igus booth, Protoworx’s TINY V2 3D printer highlighted how igus solutions, such as linear guides, energy chains, and printing materials, enhance performance. This compact and mobile 3D printer achieves high precision at fast speeds, powered by maintenance-free and reliable igus components. Its frame dimensions of 20x20x40 cm make it ideal for flexible applications, even allowing movement during production.

What is the Application?

The TINY V2 utilizes igus drylin rails and energy chains for maintenance-free and precise axis guidance, ensuring smooth and accurate operation even under rapid loads and movements.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• High Precision: Achieves resolutions of 1,280 steps/mm on X/Y axes and up to 3,200 steps/mm on Z axis.

• Durability: igus linear guides withstand high loads and movements consistently.

• Cable Protection: Energy chains prevent wear and cable breakage during dynamic movements.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

The igus room linear robot integrates seamlessly into the printer:

• Play-Free Guidance: Ensures smooth motion and long-lasting accuracy.

• Robust Design: Capable of enduring rapid and continuous use.

• Low Maintenance: Reduces servicing needs, saving costs over time.
