igus GmbH offers a finger gripper for its ReBeL collaborative robot arm to help developers

Robotise Technologies knew a damaged JEEVES would cause great dissatisfaction for its customers, so it aimed to make its robot more robust. 

On this episode, we talk to Max Cao, co-founder and CEO of Jacobi Robotics, and Jan Hennecke, product manager at igus.

igus says its acquisition of Atronia will enable cost-effective series production of smart plastics for predictive maintenance.

igus announced 247 new products, including a low-cost mobile manipulator and AI-based tools for configuring systems.

The igusGO app uses AI to identify optimization opportunities for robotics designers using lubrication-free motion plastics. 

igus said its new motor for drylin linear axes is a space-saving and cost-effective drive for two mechanical loads.

igus said the new finger gripper for its ReBeL cobot is made of motion plastics, offering functionality and affordability.

A cartesian robot system that uses XYZ coordinates to move multiple axes—typically three—to a specific location within its workspace.

igus is launching a new energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms: the Clean SCARA Cable Solution.

The Apiro gearbox system from igus® is one way to bring modularity to industrial applications, while also providing a wide range of other benefits.

Without specific knowledge about the inner workings of the vehicle, it’s unlikely you’d know what is actually wrong with your vehicle based solely on the check engine light.

The two German companies have worked together for six years, developing a number of products together.

The gripper can pack manufactured components with three fingers, place them in boxes and place a layer of protective cardboard over them.

To ensure cables on industrial robots can be guided in motion safely, easily and compactly, igus developed the four-dimensional triflex TRX energy chain. The new design study replaces classic robot hose packages and retraction systems. igus said the system offers a 40% retraction length ensured by a unique telescopic mechanism inside the chain. This allows…

igus has developed the e-spool flex 2.0, a new cable reel designed for industrial robots that has no slip ring. This allows for management of robot teach pendants. The system even supplies bus signals without interruptions, which can be typical with slip rings. The solution can extend cables up to 50 ft. Installation into a…

Pipeline repair and inspection is a dangerous task for humans, but automated units are now being deployed, thanks to Wisconsin-based robotics integrators using igus components.

Dexai Robotics has designed its Alfred 2.0 to offer a space-saving, sanitary alternative for dishing out meals.

Energy chain systems and polymer plain bearings maker igus has made its robot control software freely available for simulation and programming of a variety of robots. The platform is designed to be easy to use for newcomers to robotics.

As demand for collaborative robot arms rises, so does the need to safely manage cables. igus has released a new cable management kit that it said is easy to use.

In human anatomy, the shoulder presents one of the most challenging and complex physical problems for physicians and therapists. Shoulders and their intricate anatomical patterns also provide a unique test for developers of exoskeletons, who need to keep their units light and compact while incorporating an extensive range of movement. Those were the challenges faced…

Plastic grippers from a 3D printer and made with tribo-filaments from igus are 85% cheaper and 70% faster than most competitors currently being used in the packaging industry. 3D printing, one of the most impactful trends emerging in modern industry, allows for the single batches to become a reality and enabled for the personalized serial…
