Easy to install and with quick payback, the autonomous mobile robot enables a cost-effective entry into an automated logistics operation Automating intralogistics processes does not have to be expensive or complicated with the new igus® ReBeL Move. The mobile robot moves autonomously through the factory or warehouse transporting products and can also be combined with […]
Battery production with the highest safety rating: triflex R TRC made of ESD material receives the highest dry cleanroom certification for ISO class 4-5 With demand for electric cars growing1, the demand for high quality lithium-ion batteries is also increasing. These batteries should ideally be manufactured in minimum humidity and particle-free environments, in so-called dry […]
“ReBeLs on Wheels” make driverless transport systems affordable through modern plastic technology. Mobile robotics systems are being used in more and more industries, in e-commerce warehouses as well as modern restaurants. Conventional models on the market start at around 25,000 euros, while solutions with an integrated robot arm start at around 70,000 euros. However, widespread […]
The igus ReBeL cobot now has a humanoid hand made of lubrication-free, high-performance plastics Robots are increasingly finding their way into small and medium-sized companies, especially as collaborative robots or “cobots”, such as the igus ReBeL. These robots sort, pick and move items with the help of cameras and mechanical or vacuum gripping systems. To […]
Clean SCARA Cable Solution works almost particle-free to ISO class 2 igus has launched a new energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms: the Clean SCARA Cable Solution consists of tribologically optimized high-performance plastics and works in almost particle-free conditions specified to ISO class 2 even in high-speed applications. The system is also highly […]
Building a robot from design to manufacture doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, it can be done in 4 easy steps as you can see in this weeks “Video of the week”. With the RBTX platform, there is support and expert advice through the entire process and in 4 simple steps, you will have […]
The igus® ReBel robot arm could not be easier to use, designed specifically for it to be suitable for anyone to programme, the user friendly igus robot control makes it, easy to operate and have the robot running in minutes. In this week’s “video of the week”, we show you how quick and easy it […]
In this week’s video of the week, the UR Cobot is on display in combination with the triflex® fibre rod system. The fibre rod system ensures your services remain controlled and prevent loop formation. To view this week’s video, click here https://youtu.be/1HWkAKA54qg To find out more about the fibre rod system used on this robot […]
In this week’s video of the week, igus® colleague Constantin runs through a few cable management options for Robots. In the test laboratory in Germany, we have various Robots set up with different igus® systems to see how they cope. This video highlights, a TRX retraction system integrated into triflex® energy chains, swivel arms, module […]
A super-realistic racing simulator has been developed by Greaves 3D Engineering that features 45 igus bearings, linear rails, drives and e-chains. The University of Northampton is using the simulator for deployment on its esports BSc degree course. The driver grips the contoured steering wheel lightly and adjusts the seat position forward, angled back. The pedal […]
