Linear robots have several linear axes combined in order to implement a multidimensional movement. igus supplies flat, linear and room linear robots for a multitude of different tasks. igus linear robots include harnessed drylin linear modules/axes with NEMA stepper motors as well as all the components needed to build your own robot. Application examples for room linear robots: Measurement and testing, handling and assembly technology, identification in microelectronics and medical technology, tasks in the handling of small parts and simple handling tasks.

The weight of an end effector will decrease the available payload of your robot.

Gantry robots are particularly suitable for pick & place applications in various areas. For example, in the laboratory, in manufacturing, for applications with adhesives or in vertical farming. They are compatible with various camera systems, grippers and accessories and can therefore also be used in bin-picking applications.

Typical application areas

You can control the robot either from your Windows 10 PC or from the optional handheld with touch screen. On the PC the robot can be programmed via a graphical user interface. With the handheld you can control the robot with a joystick and start programs via the touch screen. In addition, you can also connect a gamepad to your Windows PC for control as an alternative to the handheld. With this handheld, the robot runs autonomously without the computer after programming via the Windows PC.

A specific customer test was carried out in our Custom Testing Area. The aim was to transport stacked buckets individually to another location. This was to be achieved using the pick-and-place method.

For this process, the Igus spatial gantry robot was used in combination with the vacuum gripper from Eberle Greiftechnik. The robot sucks in a bucket and transports it to the unloading point. This process is repeated until all the buckets are stacked again at the new location.

The test was successful. The application enables a flexible and safe transport process. By automating the process, it was possible to achieve efficient and precise handling of the buckets.

The combination of the Igus spatial gantry robot and the vacuum gripper from Eberle Greiftechnik proved to be an effective solution for the pick-and-place process. This system offers a flexible and safe method of transporting stacked buckets. It shows the potential for further applications in similar scenarios.

TESTIA belongs to the Airbus Group and is considered a specialist in the field of material testing. In order to automate certain testing processes cost-effectively, it was decided to carry out the project planning together with igus. The goal was to develop a precise, efficient and flexible gantry system.

The project was realized with a room gantry that was designed for the different requirements of the customer.

This automatic apple-gripping machine is a real eye-catcher at LMD's trade fair stand. The robot recognises the variously positioned apples and places them on a conveyor belt or a round table. The visitor can then have the apple dispensed.

Gantry robots have 3 degrees of freedom, are often less expensive than other robot solutions and are also suitable for various applications in a wide range of areas. For example, in laboratories or vertical farming facilities. They can also be equipped with various end effectors, camera systems and other accessories.

Filming underwater requires high quality actuators and motors that need to be controlled so that we can set up and run the shots quickly. In addition to filming in the wild, filming animals in the field offers better control, higher magnification shots, and the use of special techniques to illuminate exciting parts of animal morphology and life histories in a way that is unique. These shots would not be possible in the wild in this way. Thus, it is not a substitute for filming in the wild, but a wonderful complement to it.

At a cost level I simply could not have built what we have in any other way - and ongoing as we add and take away actuators and motors depending the required configurations these cost savings will continue to happen over the coming years as I grow this business. Efficiency is a strange word to use for it as I guess the Igus Room Gantries I use have made my work more efficient but really it is a more binary situation. With Igus equipment I have achieved new progressive photography and cinematography in my work and without Igus equipment not of this would be possible.

Vision supported Pick and Place application with igus room gantry

Kameraunterstützte Pick and Place Anwendung mit igus Raumportal

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.

Pick and place with large room gantry

Pick and Place mit großem Raumportal

The pick-and-place system for metal components uses a large spatial gantry to enable precise and efficient movements. The end effector, equipped with a camera, identifies and grips the metal parts. The camera provides real-time images that are used to accurately position and handle the components. The system ensures high accuracy and repeatability, making it ideal for industrial applications where precision and speed are critical.
