The updated robolink solution is a complete 4- or 5-axis robot in which a control unit from Commonplace Robotics GmbH (CPR) is integrated at the base of the robot arm. The robolink is moved via four or five motor controllers. This saves space and makes the robot arm more flexible during transport or for a quick adaptation of the automation process. The modular CPR control system supplements robolink with service-friendly electronics and intuitive control software that can be used to display and program the robot’s movement sequences. For example, programs can be created using Joint, Linear, DigitalOut, Loop or If-Then-Else commands. Further components, such as image processing systems, can be integrated via plug-ins. The software is supplied on CD so that only a Windows-capable computer is required for commissioning.

Simple processes can be automated cost-effectively with the robolink modular system. These include pick-and-place applications in order picking, feeding, quality assurance, assembly tasks or image processing applications. Due to the modular system, robolink can be easily adapted to a wide variety of applications. In addition to a preassembled articulated arm made of joints with a wide range of gears, motors and connector modules, users can also put together individual systems. In addition, compatible grippers and lifting vacuums are available, eg, from Schunk or MM Engineering. The robolink Designer supports configuration on the internet and can also be used on a tablet, allowing, among other things, a visual simulation of movements by the rotating joints as well as a subsequent placement of order.
