Innovative and diverse development of vending machines

The application areas of vending machines have become more diverse and with increasing mechanisation, we expect there to be many more new products. Vending machines no longer only fulfil the function of a point of sale, for instance, they can also serve as advertising space and collect user data for monitoring. They have long been part of everyday life and usually do no attract attention. Especially not if they work without failure or noise.

Vending machinery covers a wide range of industries, including retail and catering technology as well as entertainment machines and access systems.

Quiet continuous operation thanks to maintenance-free components in vending machine

Bearing points and gears in the payment system, shelves that can be pulled out with linear guides, electrical linear systems that move scanners or product dispensers, energy chains that guide cables. High demands are placed on all components in terms of function and design, and they are often in use around the clock. Our maintenance-free, high-performance plastics ensure that the vending machine, which actually operates independently, is not permanently dependent on maintenance assistance from us humans.

Advantages of igus products:

  • Maintenance-free
  • Cost-effective
  • Save installation space and weight
  • Simple assembly
  • Complete systems or individual components from batch size one
  • Service life calculation
  • Quiet and low-vibration use

Tested for real use in the test laboratory

All products are tested for wear and load capacity under real conditions in the igus test laboratory, the largest in the industry. The results are fed into our tools for calculating service life and allow for precise predictions regarding durability.

Upon request, igus also carries out customer tests to analyse the use of the products under very specific conditions.
