Tell me more about igus® dryves
igus® dryves are the motor controllers that we have developed to help customers reach a complete solution. Mainly, they consist of the igus® D1 dryve, this is the stepper motor controller we have, which can also control brushed and brushless DC motors. Then, we have the igus® D3 dryve which is a simple brushed DC motor controller for simple applications. This basically represents two sectors: the D1 dryve as an industrial controller for cartesian robots, delta robots and articulated robot arms, including those produced by igus®.
Adam Sanjurgo talks dryspin®
dryspin® is the range of high helix threads designed and manufactured by igus®, these are also known as steep threads or multi-start lead screws. dryspin® has been specifically engineered for optimum lifetime in fast screw applications. This product range still offers the key advantages for which igus® is well known, such as maintenance-free and lubrication-free use, predictable lifetime, ex-stock, corrosion resistance, FDA compliance with resistance to dirt, dust and other media such as chemicals.
An insight into Low Cost Automation
Low Cost Automation is a group of products within the igus® dry-tech® product range. These products range from something as simple as a lead screw and nut, through to a fully working robot arm.
There are three main robot types that we offer within our Low Cost Automation range. These all have their place and will be selected depending on the task that is required of the robot.
The robots can be described as, fast, flexible and modular.

Cost down, value up!
Motor controller? We’ve got you sorted!
At igus® we love to shout about our software as much as our hardware: as the dryve D1® is both, it therefore creates no exception. The top features that we and our customers identify are: easy-to-use, accessible, versatile, low-cost, valuable and of course igus®-made.
What is special about an igus® D3 motor control?
The drylin® D3 dryve is a motor controller designed to control brushed DC motors via simple automation using the in-built control system without needing software or a PC.
Motor controller: All about the drylin® dryve D1
The drylin® dryve D1 is the advanced motor controller created by igus® to be used with EC/BLDC, stepper and DC motors. It was designed to solve issues such as long commissioning times and communication troubles within drive systems. With its quick and easy setup via any web browser and its popular CANopen and Modbus TCP protocols, it is an obvious choice for many applications – whether industrial or local.
