Robotics and Automation

How do we test the delta robot?

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.

Automation investment

We are pleased to officially announce the opening of our automated assembly line for readycable at our UK facility in Northampton. Representing another significant investment for igus, the new line uses fully-automated machines and lean manufacturing methods to streamline its manufacturing process to deliver fully-harnessed drive cables shipped within 24 hours of order placement.
