Delta robots shouldn’t cost the earth and there are delta robots that are priced for the low cost market. Does this mean they are less of a product? Absolutely not and the igus® Delta robot is a prime example of how you can but a delta without spending a fortune.
At the start of 2019, igus® embarked on a new journey with the newly-released drylin® delta robot in order to reach as many customers across as many industries as possible. Each tour involved a demonstration of the delta robot on the premises of each requesting customer.
The igus delta robot is made up of three toothed belt drives, driven by three NEMA 23XL stepper motors, united with an aluminium end plate and supported by an aluminium frame and top plate.
The igus® delta robot is tested at the igus® headquarters in Cologne, Germany. Given that the backbone hardware of this robot is drylin linear technology, the tests used begin with single-axis tests for our toothed belt components – those which make up a third of the kinematics of the delta robot.
