Line gantry robots igus offers robot gantries as area, line and room gantries for a wide variety of tasks. igus gantries contain preconfigured drylin linear modules and linear axes with igus BLDC motors as well as all components required for self-assembly.
Application examples Typical applications of our drylin® linear gantry robots are pick and place, conveyor belt picking and stacking tasks. In most cases, they provide the platform on which our customers build their application. For example, a gripper can be mounted very easily to enable sorting tasks. Our gantries are used in various sectors such as the electronics industry, medical technology, industrial production, etc.
Y-axes consisting of: two drylin® ZLW-10120 toothed belt axis, standard version, toothed belt tension 200 N, feed 70 mm/rev, aluminum profile, surface: hard anodized, PU toothed belt with steel tension, white, guide carriage length 150 mm, aluminum crosshead, driven by an igus EC / BLDC motor in size NEMA24 with encoder and gearbox (i=5:1)
Z-axis consisting of: drylin® GRR-1280 cantilever axis, AWMR hollow shafts, feed rate: 72.26 mm/rev, aluminum shafts, guide carriage in length 100 mm, incl. adjustable housing bearings, aluminum traverse, driven by an igus EC / BLDC motor in size NEMA24 and encoder and gearbox (i=5:1).
Control system The igus Robot Control software enables simple and intuitive robot control and programming, making it easy to get started with automation. The modular structure makes it possible to control different igus kinematics, for example Delta robots. The gantry robot can be controlled directly by our igus® Robot Control with all its advantages. The free and license-free igus Robot Control software is integrated into the control system and thus uses a uniform operating concept and consistent communication services for many components of a system. This means less project planning effort and faster commissioning. The igus Robot Control is not part of the article and can be obtained from us as an option. A master controller is not necessary.
You are also welcome to use your own (robot) controller. Alternatively, it is also possible to operate each axis individually with a controller. For example with our igus® dryve D1 motor controller. With this control architecture, you need one motor controller per linear axis or motor and an additional master controller that controls the coordination of the movement. You must then program the inverse kinematics for the Delta robot yourself in your development environment. The motor controllers are not part of the article and can be obtained from us as an option. A master controller is not currently offered by igus.
Optional accessories Cable set for 3-axis kinematics in 3, 5 or 10 m, igus® Robot Control for gantry robots, other sizes available on request or separately.
Further information Additional strokes up to 3 m are available as standard and up to 6 m after technical testing. If you are unsure whether you can use the product as desired, please contact us or use our gantry configurator (Beta).
