Customize your industrial equipment to optimize production

To remain competitive, companies must innovate, diversify, remain flexible, and optimize their costs. In 2022, 68% of BIBUS France's clients experienced business growth through the modernization of their production tools.

Customizing industrial equipment is a key solution to staying competitive while addressing the two major challenges of the industry of the future: flexibility and reducing physical strain on workers.

Let’s explore innovative solutions that help optimize machines and production processes.

Safe and Optimized Mobility

Standardized equipment can hinder a company's growth due to handling difficulties or maintenance issues. Customizable solutions are available to improve the ergonomics of production tools, making operations easier, more efficient, and helping to optimize production workflows.

●IDEC Electric Autonomous Wheels

These motorized wheels empower rolling equipment and industrial carts with autonomous motion, making it easier to move heavy loads or people. The 150I series wheel provides electric assistance for up to 1000 kg of load.

Robust, maneuverable, compact, and safe, these wheels integrate a motor and one or more batteries to manage starting, moving, and braking across smooth or uneven surfaces.

Multiple series of electric autonomous wheels are available to meet diverse needs and adapt existing equipment in logistics warehouses, pharmaceutical and food labs, hospitals, chemical plants, and more.

By providing electric assistance, these wheels allow operators to maneuver carts effortlessly, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and accidents both human and material. They are a key component in streamlining workflow.

● ez-Wheel Safety Wheel Drive® (SWD)

These motorized wheels act as compact propulsion systems and can be easily integrated into existing industrial equipment such as lift carts, AMRs, AGVs, pallet shuttles, and conveyors, enhancing mobility even in demanding environments.

Regardless of wheel diameter (125 mm or 150 mm) or load capacity (500 kg to 1500 kg), all SWD wheels come with an integrated motor and motion control system, ensuring safe and precise movements on any type of surface.

A user-friendly interface allows operators to control speed and direction with ease.

Boosting Machine Efficiency, Reducing Maintenance, and Enhancing Production Quality

● Electric and Gas Actuators

These systems allow operators to push, pull, lower, lift, lock, and position loads, as well as adjust equipment height.

• Programmable electric actuators offer precise linear motion control, adjusting machine work surfaces effortlessly.
• Gas actuators amplify the operator’s manual effort, facilitating load handling.
  

Both types can be integrated into equipment to automate repetitive, precise movements such as lifting, clamping, or releasing parts.

In partnership with Bansbach easylift®, BIBUS France offers a comprehensive range of electric actuators, gas springs, and lockable gas springs (both in tension and compression), known for their strength and durability.

For specific client needs, actuators can be custom-designed: stroke length, rod position, force, and materials are all adjustable.

The EasyE-Line electric actuators feature a built-in high-performance 24Vdc motor, making them compact and ideal for tight installation spaces. Depending on the model, they can support loads up to 10,000 N.

● ACE Shock Absorbers (MC to SC Series)

These components enhance machine efficiency and extend equipment lifespan. Compatible with a wide range of devices, ACE shock absorbers:

• Absorb shocks, vibrations, and impacts, reducing machine wear and unplanned downtime
• Lower maintenance costs
• Prevent damage-induced scrap, especially in sensitive sectors like food, logistics, and pharmaceuticals
  

In manufacturing, uncontrolled impacts can damage products during production. Properly managed deceleration reduces such risks.

Shock absorbers also minimize noise pollution, improving overall workplace comfort.

Visible Returns on Customization Investments

Companies that adopt tailored industrial solutions quickly see benefits such as:

• Fewer maintenance interventions and equipment stoppages
• Reduced scrap and better production flow management
• Lower absenteeism due to improved ergonomics
• A generalimprovement in working conditions
