Having so many product groups across the company, it is amazing to see how they can all work together in perfect harmony! In this week’s video of the week, we see how the Low Cost automation robolink® robots automate the production of our energy chains, building our them right now in our factory! To view […]
The degree of freedom required for industrial robots and cobots is immense but thanks to the easily assembled triflex® energy chain range, cables are protected from corkscrewing and wearing. The modular design is simple to fit, allows cables to be inserted easily and without having to break down the entire robot. In this week’s video […]
In this video you can see the comparison between the assembly time of an igus® plastic cobot clamp and the metal version. There simply is no comparison when it comes to the speed, however the metal ones can sometimes be the better option when there is a faster motion. Luckily igus® offers both options! So, […]
A telescopic triflex® TRX energy chain for robots from igus saves space and provides a withdrawal path of up to 40 per cent less. Robots can be limited in their range of movement by the cable retraction system. To allow cables in industrial robots to move safely, easily and compactly, igus has developed the four-dimensional […]
Industrial robots are pervasive in manufacturing and their applications are increasing all the time. But with constant multi-axis movements, the cables that supply robots are subjected to extreme levels of stress, posing a challenge for manufacturers of cables and other connecting components. The International Federation of Robotics predicts that by 2020 more than 1.7 million […]
Delta robots are used in a wide range of applications, from pick and place, fitting components at high speed and even testing other products.
