igus is expanding its automation range with the drylin XXL room linear robot. The linear robot has an action radius of 2 x 2 x 1.5 m and is suitable for palletising applications of up to 10 kg. The robot includes a control system, and is said to be easy to set up and program without the help of a system integrator.

Many small and medium-sized companies shy away from getting started with automation because of expense and complexity, jeopardising competitiveness in the long term. A DIY robotics kit provides the opportunity to quickly and easily put a pick-and-place linear robot into operation for tasks related to palletising, sorting, labelling and quality inspection.

The DIY linear robot kit consists of two toothed belt axes and a toothed rack cantilever axis with stepper motors. While the default action range is 2 x 2 x 1.5 m, extensions up to 6 x 6 x 1.5 m are also possible. The package includes a switch cabinet, cables and energy chains as well as the igus Robot Control (iRC) control software, which provides a digital twin of the linear robot that can be used to define movements with a few clicks.

igus sasy the system itself does not require any maintenance. The linear axes consist of corrosion-free aluminium and the carriages move via plain bearings made of high-performance plastic which, due to integrated solid lubricants, enable a low-friction dry operation without external lubricants for many years.
