robolink® low cost robot as complete system or individual solution

robolink from igus offers you two ways of benefiting from the advantages of Low Cost Automation:
1. Assemble your own individual solution.
2. Choose one of our pre-configured robolink articulated arms, delta robots or drylin linear robots.

Advantages of the modular low cost robots

Modular approach
Low cost
High flexibility: wide choice of end effectors
Lightweight construction
Precision ≤ 1mm
2-5 degrees of freedom (DOF)
Return on Investment (ROI) after 4 to 7 months (depending on design and integration level)
Maintenance-free, no lubrication necessary
Free CAD downloads
robolink design and simulate online
With or without motors
With or without control system

The modular system principle: robots can be ordered as complete modules or individually.
