Robotics and Automation

How can you prevent expensive robot breakdowns?

Having products that help reduce downtime and make changing parts easy on the production line is a game changer. The igus® triflex® energy chain is designed specifically for cable management on Robots. Read more to learn why this system works so effectively.

Forget chocolate vending machines, introducing mask vending machines!

When you think of vending machines you think of chocolate, crisps or drinks. When you think of a dispenser you might think of a grab machine you find in arcades that potentially could bankrupt you before you have successfully won a toy! But 2020 has bought us the mask vending machine and igus® has the perfect product to go inside.

When you can’t socially distance, use a robot

2020 is the year that you need distance! Utilising Robots fitted with igus®triflex® energy chain enables maximum production but keeping staff safe by allowing social distancing measures.

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®.

13 key features of energy chains for the Robotics industry

There are so many energy chain systems so how do you know which one is right for you? Here you will find the top key features for the igus® triflex® fully explained. This cable management system compliments Robot applications in every way.

Robot arms- How many does your robot need?

Everyone wants to have a system which creates an effective, productive and safe way of working. It is becoming more and more apparent that adding an automated option is the way forward. Here we learn about igus®’ Robolink and how these little Robots can change how you work.

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.
