Delta robot - three degrees of freedom, 360mm or 660mm
igus offers delta robots for a wide variety of tasks. igus delta include preconfigured drylin linear modules and linear axes (ZLW-1040S, incl. replaceable bearings) with igus stepper motors (NEMA 24 with encoders) and all components necessary for self-assembly.
The 3-axis delta was specifically developed for fast pick & place tasks and is delivered in two different installation sizes with suitable control systems.
Technical details
- 360mm or 660mm workspace diameter with 180mm of working height
- Pick rate
of max. 30 or 60/min.
- Self-lubricating, maintenance-free drylin® ZLW toothed belt axes
Application examples
Typical applications of our drylin® delta robots are pick & place, conveyor belt picking and stacking tasks in three-dimensional space. In combination with a gripper or suction cup, picking tasks can be implemented very quickly.
Control system
The igus Robot Control software enables simple and intuitive robot control system 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 delta robot can be controlled directly with all its advantages using our igus® Robot Control.
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 and faster commissioning.
The igus Robot Control is not a part of the product and can optionally be purchased from us. A master control system is not necessary.
It's also possible to 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® dryve D1 motor control system. With this control system architecture, for each you need one motor control system and an additional master control system per linear axis, 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. igus does not offer a master control system at the moment.
