Configure and simulate low-cost robots online
 
Simulate movements by means of inverse kinematics, program sequences of movements, calculate movable weight and maximum range and save the entire configuration or directly submit an enquiry for it. robolink® designer has many new features for you to use.

At the Hannover Messe, you will be able to see not only 107 new motion plastics® products this year but also an igus® world first: a completely new modular kit for lubrication-free movement. As simple as toys but with high-performance Tribo technology.

robolink® places individual parts warehouse shelves
The individual parts are first scanned, after which the gripper arm places them on the appropriate shelf in each case. Following the learning phase, the construction can recognise approx. 2,500 different articles.

Advance notification:
New configurator for robot equipment
Using the completely revised online tool, you can find and configure the complete equipment for your robot in just a few steps. Select the robot model, add a retraction system and e-chain®, adapt and configure as necessary, and then order directly. With parts list, PDF download, total price & delivery time. Optimised for mobile devices.

New functions online from 23.4.2018.
Insights from the igus® lab
chainflex®
Torsion test:
chainflex® robot cables are built to last
In the igus® test laboratory, different chainflex® CFROBOT cables were tested in special conditions involving a torsion factor of +/- 180°. All three cables lasted far beyond the original test lifespan:

17 million cycles: CFROBOT.036 motor cable
22 million cycles: CFROBOT8.045 Ethernet cable
28 million cycles: CFROBOT5.501 fibre-optic cable

In cable car points
The cable car cabins operating on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier have to be collected from the sidings in the mountain-top and valley stations every single day. This is done with the help of a hydraulically operated set of points with lifts and turntables. Energy supply to the points is ensured with chainflex® cables in a triflex® R energy chain that can move in three dimensions. At temperatures down to -30° C.
