Configure easily and automate cost-effectively
– at the 2017 Hannover Messe the motion plastics specialist igus presented new
robolink components for individual robotics solutions. In addition to complete
robotic arms in optimised design for even more freedom of movement, higher
stability and up to eight kilograms of load, igus displays the 'robolink
designer', with which users can configure their robotic arms easily and
quickly.
With the robolink product range, igus has set
itself the goal of offering cost-effective components made of lubrication-free
and maintenance-free plastics, so that users can assemble their systems individually
from joints using a wide variety of gears, motors and connecting elements –
either with individual components in self-assembly or with a fully
pre-assembled articulated arm. At the 2017 Hannover Messe, igus presents a
new5-axis robot kit with optimised design, which is also available as a
finished, preassembled arm. The ready-to-connect robotic arm, which offers even
greater freedom of movement and greater stability, was shown in production
operation by igus at its booth.
igus offers these complete solutions even more
cost-effectively with either four or five degrees of freedom in two different
sizes. "With these solutions, we provide users with industry-grade
products that we have tested in our own lab and even used for pick-and-place tasks
in 24-hour operation in our own production facility," explains Martin
Raak, product manager of robolink at igus. "The larger option of the new
robotic arm for up to eight kilograms of load capacity is available ready for
connection starting from 1 off for ₹ 3
Lakhs and with a low-cost control system for a total of around ₹ 4.5 Lakhs." One option here is, for
example, the control system of the manufacturer Commonplace Robotics (CPR). It
is equipped with an easy-to-use software that can be used to control robolink D
robotic arms with four or five degrees of freedom, only requiring an external
computer for the installation. Even the smaller option of the robolink
D articulated arm with a maximum load capacity of four kilograms can easily
execute quick handling tasks for loads up to 500 grams.
Configure
robots easily online
With the new 'robolink designer', customers can
select their specific components step by step on an intuitive CAD interface,
thus enabling them to configure their robotic arm quickly and easily from the
first axis up to the tool. "The length of the arm is quite variable, so
that the robot can be adapted to the respective work area," explains
Martin Raak. "The software can also be used on a tablet, allowing, among
other things, a visual simulation of movements on the rotating joints."
Following the configuration, a parts list and a direct request to igus are
issued.
