Design and simulate robolink® online
igus® offers two solutions with robolink® in order to implement the advantages of Low-Cost Automation:
1. Create your own individual solution.
2. Choose one of our pre-configured robolink® articulated arms.
Build - an individual solution
Configure and order your own robot arm quickly and easily with our intuitive robolink® designer. Find out how easy it is to assemble a robolink® joint arm yourself. We provide CAD files and data sheets of our robolink® products free of charge so that you can better plan your automation project.
Buy - a complete robot arm (electro-mechanical)
igus® not only offers a number of complete standard articulated arms, but also a control system tailored to robolink®. Get to know the various models as well as their special properties and use the robolink® designer to simulate motion sequences.
Selected application examples
Articulated and linear robots for cost-effective automation
An example from the igus® range: Assembly of multi-axis articulated robolink® and drylin® linear robots with a matching control unit used as a pick & place unit, automated together, plus fully lubricated and maintenance-free e-chains®. Conducted in the igus® factory in Cologne.
In order to automate monotonous sorting work, MATRIUM GmbH combined its own components with individual robolink® components in order to configure a customized solution for the shown sorting process.
In order to remove mobile phone half-shells from a hazardous area of a machine with coolant spraying water, a robolink® articulated arm is used by a machine tool manufacturer.
Configure and simulate robolink®
Configure a robolink® articulated arm according to your requirements and simulate movement sequences. A finished robolink® robot including parts list is just a few clicks away.
