How is the robolink® robot arm made?

The robolink® DC works over 4 or 5 rotating axes and is made from symmetrical rotating joints which are available in high end or standard options.

How is the igus® delta robot made?

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.

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.

All about the delta robot

A delta robot, or parallel robot, is a 3-axis robot suitable for small working areas and fast applications.
The igus® delta robot is a unique version of the renowned delta robot which uses parts from various areas of the igus® catalogue to achieve fast, self-lubricating, low maintenance solutions for pick and place and many other applications.

What is selective laser sintering ?

Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) is one of the powder-based additive manufacturing technologies. Physical plastic components are manufactured on the basis of CAD data by means of the energy input of a laser beam. The plastic in powder form is used as the starting material. The laser is either a CO² laser or an infra-red laser.

Where are chainflex® cables used?

igus ® chainflex ® cables can be found in an endless amount of industries and applications due to the number of environments igus caters for. Mainly, but not entirely, igus cables are used in energy chains and can be found in several e chain industries as well. How can chainflex ® work for you?

How are chainflex® cables tested?

All our chainflex® cables undergo rigorous testing to ensure the maximum service life of igus® cables, because of this we can supply our unique 36-month-guarantee. Here we will go through 8 of our cable tests.

How are chainflex® cables made?

Our journey with a cable begins with the most basic component, copper. Copper starts out as raw material and is pulled into smaller strands called litz wires. The number of litz wires required for a cross section depends on the size of the litz wire, a thinner wire will require more strands than a thicker wire to make the same cross section size.
