Flat linear robot | DLE-FG-0004 | Workspace 800 x 400mm

Flat linear robot
The company igus offers linear robots as flat, line and room linear robots for a wide range of tasks. The igus linear robots include preconfigured drylin linear modules and linear axes with igus stepper motors as well as all components required for self-assembly.

Application examples
Typical applications for our drylin® flat linear robots are pick and place, conveyor belt picking and stacking tasks in two-dimensional space. In most cases, the flat linear robot provides the platform on which our customers build their application. In the case of flat linear robots, these are often superstructures that serve to inspect components, for example in quality assurance.

X-axes
consisting of: drylin® ZLW-0630S toothed belt axis, standard version, toothed belt tension 75N, feed rate 54mm/rev, aluminium profile, surface: hard-anodised, neoprene toothed belt, black, guide carriage in length 100mm, shaft end support made of plastic, driven on one side by an igus stepper motor in installation size NEMA23 with encoder, mechanically synchronised by a main shaft made of aluminium AWMP-10

Y-axis
consisting of: drylin® ZLW-0660 toothed belt axis, standard version, toothed belt tension 150N, feed rate 54mm/rev, aluminium profile, surface: hard-anodised, PU toothed belt with steel cable, white, guide carriage in length 100mm, shaft end support made of aluminium, driven by an igus stepper motor in installation size NEMA17 in the version with M12 connectors and encoder

Control system
The igus RobotControl Software allows for simple and intuitive robot control and programming, making it easy to get started with automation. The modular design makes it possible to control various igus kinematics, such as delta robots. The linear robot can be controlled via our igus® Robot Control with all its advantages.
The free-of-charge, licence-free igus Robot Control software is integrated into the control system and thus makes use of a uniform operating concept and consistent communication services for many components of a system. This entails less project planning effort and faster commissioning. The igus Robot Control is not a component of the part and can optionally be purchased from us. A master control system is not necessary.

You can of course also use your own (robot) control system.
Alternatively, it is also possible to operate each axis individually with a control system. For example, with our igus® D1 dryve motor control system. With this control architecture, you need per linear axis or motor and an additional master control system, which controls the coordination of the movement. You must then program the inverse kinematics for the delta robot yourself on your development environment.
The motor control systems are not part of the product and can be ordered from us as an option. Master control system is currently not offered by igus.

Optional accessories
Cable set for 2-axis kinematics in 3, 5 or 10m, igus® Robot Control for gantry robots or other sizes available on enquiry separately available.

Further information
Further strokes up to 3m are available as standard and, after technical testing, up to 6m and 100kg.
If you are unsure whether you can use the product as desired, please contact us or use our linear robot configurator (beta).
