AUTOMATION MADE EASY
The pressure of competition on companies is growing locally and globally due to the increasing automation
of production processes. In order to make automatic processes possible cost-effectively and individually,
igus is developing low-cost solutions with the help of high-performance plastics such as the new modular
motion system, robolink Apiro.
Design engineers can choose from three lubrication-free worm gears for standard movement, inverted
movement and linear movement. For the user, there are practically no limits anymore, with solutions ranging
from the simple linear robot to complex humanoid and animatronic robots.
Implementing individual automation solutions easily and cost-effectively is the mission of the new igus
robolink Apiro modular motion system available from Treotham. When the new series was being developed,
the focus was on decoupling the motor and gearbox as well as on the introduction of completely new kinds
of worm gear for the achievement of six axes, for example, in an articulated robot. Gearbox with linear
motion, inverted and conventional robolink worm gears in four different sizes are planned and, thanks to the
exceptional modularity of the system, can be combined with each other as required. With the new modular
system, therefore, even complicated movements can be implemented.
The new robolink series is also suitable for training, development and research as different kinematics can
be set up easily and quickly.
