Robot now available with 10x larger working space

igus has introduced a new version of its drylin delta robot with a 10x larger work space volume compared to its original model. This lightweight DLE-DR system for simple pick & place tasks, is delivered as a kit or ready to install product. This guarantees quick operation and saves costs immediately.

The robot consists of three maintenance-free drylin ZLW toothed belt axes with NEMA23 XL encoder stepper motors, lubrication-free igubal coupling joints and matching adapter plates for grippers and motors. This ensures the quick handling of up to 5kg with a precision of ±0.5mm.

The new drylin delta robot offers a 10x larger working space with 660mm diameter at 180mm height, which significantly increases the range. A calibrating pin allows the robot to be positioned at the zero point. It is directly fixed to the mounting hub.

The drylin delta robot is suitable for simple assembly activities, pick & place tasks, as well as applications in inspection technology. 

As a kit, it can be set up in just 30 minutes and is extremely cost-effective. 

“Even a small or medium-sized company can venture into automation for a few thousand pounds,” says Robert Dumayne, dry-tech director at igus. “The return on investment is less than six months for most applications.”

Depending on the customer’s requirements, the new drylin DLE-DR can be delivered within three to seven days as a kit with assembly instructions in a box, or as a ready-to-install system in a transport frame.

As an option, the customer can use their own software and control system, or the intuitive and easy-to-use dryve D1 control system from igus.
