At only 270 grams, MCG is probably the lightest cobot gripper in the world. This is made possible by its components produced by high-quality, lightweight 3-D printing. The combination of pump unit with integrated COAX® vacuum ejector technology and separate grippers allows maximum flexibility. This is further increased by the new Quick-Click-Toolchanger (QCT), which allows customers  to chang from one gripper type to another in seconds without any tools. MCG lifts up to 5 kg.

In this application, a pick-and-place solution was tested for a customer using an igus linear robot, a camera, and a conveyor belt. The individual components had to communicate seamlessly to ensure the metal part could be reliably picked up from the conveyor belt and accurately sorted. The integration of the camera for detecting and positioning the metal part, along with the precise control of the linear robot, played a crucial role in ensuring the system’s high reliability and efficiency.

In this specific customer application, a cost-effective solution for loading and unloading a laser engraving machine was sought and successfully implemented. The igus ReBeL robot takes on the task of picking up the parts to be engraved and precisely placing them into the machine. Subsequently, a linear system equipped with a laser engraving head carries out the engraving process. Once the engraving is complete, the robot removes the processed part from the machine and places it for further processing or packaging.

Thanks to the low cost of the cobot, the investment in this automated solution pays off in a very short time, making it particularly attractive for companies looking to reduce their production costs while simultaneously increasing efficiency.

In this video, we present an advanced solution for downstream sprue separation of clip bearings in injection molding production. The application utilizes a Delta robot system, IRC, rotary conveyor, an igus vacuum gripper with rotation unit, and a Zimmer gripper to optimize the process and increase efficiency.

The setup of the Delta robot and the integration of the IRC are shown, as well as the operation of the rotary conveyor and the camera for precise detection and separation of sprues. The igus vacuum gripper with rotation unit is demonstrated in action, handling the clip bearings safely and efficiently. The Zimmer gripper complements the process with its precise gripping technique. The entire system operates smoothly and efficiently thanks to reliable power and data transmission.

The benefits of this solution include increased production speed, reduced scrap, and improved workplace safety. Additionally, a low footprint is ensured, facilitating integration into various production environments.

Automated insertion into injection molding machine

Automatisiertes Einlegen in Spritzgussmaschine

In this video, we demonstrate the use of an automated system for inserting components into an injection molding machine. This innovative solution optimizes the production process and significantly increases efficiency.

The operation of the insertion process is shown step by step, demonstrating the precise positioning and handling of the components. The seamless integration of the insertion system into the existing injection molding machine will then be demonstrated, including the communication interfaces and control logic.

The benefits of this solution include increasing production speed and accuracy, reducing scrap and material waste, and improving worker safety by minimizing manual intervention.

An important aspect here is maintaining a low footprint.

Automated packaging of spices with igus gantry robot

In this application for a customer in the food industry, spices needed to be transferred from a tray into a carton. The challenge was the high precision required due to the tight tolerances. However, this was easily overcome with an igus gantry robot and a flow gripper. The gantry robot enabled precise and repeatable positioning of the spices, while the flow gripper ensured gentle handling of the delicate products. By combining these technologies, an efficient and reliable solution was achieved for the customer, significantly enhancing both product quality and production speed.

In this specific customer application, the challenge was to implement two different applications within a single system. This was a complex task that required both technical expertise and innovative solutions. In the first step of the process, it was necessary to use a dosing unit to apply adhesive to the component.

This step required precision and accuracy to ensure that the adhesive was applied evenly and in the right amount. It was important that this process was carried out correctly to ensure optimal adhesion between the components. After the adhesive was applied, the same robot was then supposed to pick up the workpiece to be glued with a special Cobot pump.

This step required careful handling and positioning of the workpiece to ensure that it was correctly aligned and prepared for the gluing process. Finally, the robot was supposed to glue the workpiece with the other component. This final step was crucial to ensure a strong and durable connection between the two components. It was important that the robot was able to deliver the exact pressure and alignment required for successful bonding.

Overall, this customer application was a challenging task that required careful planning, precise execution, and innovative solutions. Despite the challenges, the result was a successfully implemented system capable of efficiently and effectively realizing two different applications.

A robot line portal is a specific type of robotic system widely used in various industrial sectors. It consists of a robotic arm that is moved along a line or rail to perform a series of tasks.In the food industry, as shown in the igus customer test, such a system can be used for “pick and place” tasks, for example.

The robotic arm, equipped with a flow gripper, can pick up food products and place them in another location. This can be useful for packaging processes, sorting tasks, or other applications.

The video shows how the robot line gantry at igus is in action and performs a task efficiently and precisely. The advanced robot technology from igus offers significant advantages for the food industry. Thanks to its high speed and precision, it helps to increase productivity. At the same time, the workload of employees is reduced by automating repetitive tasks. This leads to more efficient production and can improve safety in the workplace as employees are exposed to less dangerous or monotonous tasks. The application of this technology in the food industry is an impressive example of the use of robotics to optimize processes.
