Room gantry robot in low-cost version
Igus expands its low-cost automation range with a drylin XXL room gantry robot.
The pick-and-place linear robot for palletizing, sorting, labelling and quality inspection tasks can be assembled and programmed according to the do-it-yourself principle, without the help of a system integrator. The purchaser receives the room portal as a DIY kit. The components are two toothed belt axes and a rack and pinion cantilever axis with stepper motors and an operating range of 2,000 mm x 2,000 mm x 1,500 mm; the maximum length is up to 6,000 mm x 6,000 mm x 1,500 mm. The package also includes a control cabinet, cables and energy chains as well as the 'igus Robot Control (iRC)' control software. If additional components such as camera systems or grippers are required, users can find these on the robotics marketplace 'RBTX'. The portal is particularly suitable for palletizing applications up to 10 kg.
