Global automation specialist igus has unveiled a new low-cost delta robot to give SMEs a cost-effective way to automate.
The low-maintenance, lightweight igus delta robot is manufactured entirely with igus components and provides a thrifty and simple automation solution for assembly tasks.
The robot, which comes with assembly and controller package options, is a low-cost alternative to expensive traditional industrial delta robots.
igus’ delta robot includes a maintenance-free toothed belt drive lubrication-free linkage, encoders and stepper motors as well as optional drive controllers. The unit can be delivered pre-assembled or can be assembled on-site in about 30 minutes with easy-to-use instructions provided by igus.
It is ideal for simple assembly functions, pick and place tasks, and applications in inspection technology.
The igus delta robot consists of three maintenance-free pre-assembled drylin ZLW toothed-belt actuators, lubrication-free igubal spherical bearings and other lightweight components.
NEMA stepper motors and encoders ensure quick handling by the delta robot of up to ± 0.5mm.
The entire delta robot can be supplied ready-to-install in a transport frame or as a kit, with quick and easy assembly instructions.
Key advantages
- Cost-effective alternative to usual delta kinematics
- Ready-made system based on the drylin® modular kit
- No additional lubricant necessary and therefore very little maintenance required
- Fast movements possible due to parallel kinematics
