Go to application

The company igus itself also uses automation solutions in production. In order to meet the high market demand, some energy chains are assembled fully automatically by robots. This enables scaling of the production volume, but at the same time relieves employees of monotonous tasks.

The problem

The components must be inserted into the mounting rail from a feeder. The problem with this is the diverse positions of the individual chain links. For this reason, the feeding of the parts was expanded to include a vibrating table.


 

The solution

Two robolink RL-DC working in parallel use a suction pad to grip the correctly positioned component and feed it to the assembly machine. Both robots sit on a 7th axis on which they can move independently from left to right.
