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.

Flexible linear robots: where can I get one?
Multi-axis gantries are machinery systems that can travel across predefined surfaces or volumes. At igus®, we have gantry applications lifting hundreds of kilos for industrial tasks and others carrying out millimetres of travel for high precision tasks.
How can robots help humans?
Their precision, strength, and ongoing energy levels make robots ideal employees for the practical and theoretical tasks that humans find difficult or boring to do.
What are gantries?
There are endless modular combinations of axes for igus gantries: with our toothed belt drives, rack and pinion and/or leadscrew drives. The flexibility of choice results in a truly bespoke solutions for each application.
How are gantries tested?
The primary tests include: long linear stroke; linear technology underwater; coefficient of friction and wear. The standard igus® tests ensure the smooth incorporation of data into our free online tools which igus® employees and igus® customers can use to find the appropriate solution for an application.
