Simple, precise, fast processes: these are the requirements of Cartesian robots. They are used for such things as pick-and-place applications, sorting systems and medical technology. igus has now developed a linear and room linear robot for large workspaces. The two kinematics systems allow users to move up to 5 kg, and they can be customised to suit the application.
The two linear robots consist of preconfigured linear modules, aluminium linear axes, NEMA stepper motors and encoders. The smaller linear robot can transport loads of up to 50 N in a workspace of 800 x 500 mm at a maximum speed of up to 1 m/s. The room linear robot is a good option for more complex tasks. It can transport loads of up to 50 N in a workspace of 800 x 800 x 500 mm at a maximum speed of 0.5 m/s. Two ZLW toothed belt axes and one GRR gear rack axis help ensure precise guidance and lubrication-free operation.
The linear robot solutions are used in pick-and-place, bin picking and sorting tasks.
In addition to the stock items, users can assemble their own linear robot with strokes of up to 6 m at http://www.igus.eu/robot-enquiry and request a quotation. Depending on requirements, axis length and various motors can also be configured with such items as igus energy chains and cables.
