igus has expanded its modular kit of plastic components for low-cost robotics and displays many new products: from a new gearbox design and a complete robot arm up to a simple robolink online configurator. Therefore robot manufacturers can build inexpensive robots and users are able to automate simple tasks.

The robolink D modular kit from the motion plastics specialist igus offers users the ability to assemble cost-effective custom robotic systems. The separate joints, which are driven by a motor directly on the axis, are available in various installation sizes. Now igus has further expanded its range and more components that offer still more scope for design. This gives the ability to combine motors and joints in several sizes with the standard controls to make a complete 6-axis low-cost robot made of plastic and aluminium.
