Fully integrated ReBeL® strain wave gear

The ReBeL's core: the strain wave gear made of motion plastics

Based on the ReBeL® plastic strain wave gear, an individual robot can also be designed as a cobot with the help of connection elements thanks to the additional electronic components.

ReBeL® robot arm, now smart

"ReBeL®" stands for "Robotic embedded-BLDC and electronics Link". The smart robot arm now includes integrated sensors, eliminating additional costs for external hardware. New cloud services also allow you to monitor your robot live.

ReBeL® robot arm with four to six degrees of freedom

Configure the ReBel® as you need it: From now on, you can determine the number of axes – four or six degrees of freedom – yourself. Depending on the application, this saves space and reduces costs and unnecessary complexity.

Robocube

The robot cell made of aluminium profiles is designed for various types of robots such as delta, SCARA or linear robots. The delivery scope includes the necessary electronics such as emergency stop, start and stop display and CE documentation. 

Seventh axis for all robots

With the seventh axis kit, workspace for common lightweight robots can be expanded quickly via digital inputs and outputs. Fast control via digital I/Os. All safety criteria are met.

Delta robot as 2-axis kinematics

The two-axis delta was developed specifically for extra-fast pick & place tasks. It can be used for pick & place tasks, conveyor belt picking, and sorting and stacking tasks.

Study: Delta robot with FDA-compliant components

The igus® three-axis delta robots were developed specifically for extra-fast pick & place tasks. In this way, they can, among other things, be used for conveyor belt picking, sorting tasks and stacking tasks. Together with you, we can continue developing the standard delta robots for food applications. 

XXL room linear robot

The new standard linear robot system especially for palletising applications ensures reliable and flexible loading and unloading of pallets. The drylin® room linear robot can lift a weight of up to 10kg. Other typical applications of drylin® linear robots are pick and place, conveyor belt picking, sorting tasks, stacking tasks and many more.

Configure linear robots to measure

Starting right away, you can configure and program an individual
linear robot even faster and easier with immediate
pricing information. Simply enter the required stroke length and working area dimensions for your linear robot. You will receive a fixed price, including CADs and a technical drawing. 

Individual linear robots with no minimum order quantity

In addition to a standard product range in the online shop, special linear robots can be tailored individually to your requirements. Material, size, special requirements – there is lots we can do. Please contact us! 

Rotary motor units for linear robots

Rotary motor units for linear robots - an option for all applications for which an additional degree of freedom is necessary.

Stainless steel gantry

The stainless steel linear robot made of corrosion-free components is robust and resistant to high humidity. It is suitable for applications with a payload of up to 8kg. In combination with the igus robot control, nothing stands in the way of fast commissioning.

SCARA robot: for fast pick & place tasks

SCARA robot is good for fast, flexible use. Typical application areas include handling and positioning tasks in the electronics industry, for example. In most cases, it is used for loads of up to 2kg. 

igus® Robot Control system: plug-and-play control system for all igus® kinematic elements

Use the free robot software to program a digital twin of your robot before purchase. Integrated I/O modules and powerful communication interfaces allow both simple and sophisticated machine concepts.

Free sample programmes

Faster integration of igus® robot control for your machines with a combination of simple and complex control technology and igus® robot control.

igus education program

Low Cost Automation's robotics training program prepares tomorrow's specialists and managers for future challenges. In remote and on-site training courses, lecturers use igus robots that are developed and produced for the industry. This ensures a seamless entry into industrial robotics.

Apiro for format adjustment

The Apiro® gearbox with hand wheel, position indicator and manual clamp is used as a drive point for synchronised gearboxes or cantilever axes. The flex shaft allows Apiro® cantilever axes to be synchronised along variable curve guides.

Apiro® worm gear with turntable

Worm gears with turntables are often used for rotary table applications. The turntable on both sides enables symmetrical force transmission, which plays an important role when used as a rotary axis in automation and robotics.

Apiro® lift/push drive

The Apiro® lift/push drive is used for height adjustments or pusher applications. It can transmit significantly larger forces than the Apiro® cantilever axis (up to 250N). Several gearboxes can be easily synchronised.

Apiro® bevel gear

Bevel gears are used wherever movements and forces must be transmitted at right angles. The 1:1 ratio allows torque transmission almost without loss.

Apiro® cantilever axis with double axis

The cantilever axis from the Apiro® modular gearbox system is now available with a double cantilever axis. Works with motor drive or manual drive. The modules can be used in series or parallel with strokes from 60-1,050mm.

Apiro® robotics kit

Apiro® (Greek for "infinite") robot modular gearbox system, now available as a starter kit. Assemble your own robot, including instructions.
