Versatile construction kit for robotics

By Niranjan Mudholkar,

Added 10 July 2014

At this year’s Automatica in Munich, igus presented its innovations, which move robots reliably and extend their service lives.

Complete range for 3D applications

The CFROBOT cables from igus put the finishing touches on the construction kit principle for the robotic industry. The cable product range for difficult robotic applications ranges from hybrid and control cables to bus, data, and fibre-optic cables, creating a comprehensive assortment optimised for use in 3D energy chains with respect to the cable design. For cores, braided elements and shields are constantly exposed to significantly changing stresses in torsion applications. For this purpose, highly wear-resistant and halogen-free PUR or TPE jackets protect the torsion-optimised braiding elements against potential damage. The specialised designs guarantee that even fibre-optic cables work reliably in torsion applications. This was proven in tests with 27 million torsion movements. Deliveries are available starting at one metre without minimum order quantity or cutting charges.

Quick online configuration

igus not only sells products optimised for the robotics industry, but also provides online tools, such as ‘QuickRobot', which is used to configure the entire equipment for 79 robot types immediately. By indicating the robot manufacturer and the type series, the complete matching equipment for up to a maximum of six axis is displayed within seconds. Ranging from large welding robots to small handling robots, this tool is capable of designing a wide range of applications.
