Unfortunately, plain bearings can also suffer damage that can lead to machine failures. This blog post explains how plain bearings are damaged and how you can systematically analyse and avoid that damage. How are plain […]
We have defined 3 different quality standards for our robolink D joints and I want to explain the background of this issue. The 3 qualities are: “low cost”, “standard”, “high end” The main performance differences are stiffness, friction, precision (reverse play) and on the other hand cost. For size -20 and -30, the price difference between […]
This new 16 page brochure tells the story and current state of the robolink development at igus. It contains some technical informations and describes the possibilities of our joint kit system, it is not a replacement of our catalogue, that you can still find in the “Support & service” section.

We have renewed the FAQ section (currently in German, English/international will follow soon)! Link to the german FAQ site: http://www.igus.de/wpck/7209/robolink_faq?C=DE&L=de Next steps will be: Update the download area, including step files for our “new” joints, update the different joint arms with the “new” joints, new catalogue (planned for April 2014 / HMI trade show). AT […]
Some words about grippers in combination with our robolink joint arms: Different grippers can be attached to our arm tubes. One common solution are pneumatic grippers. They are (often) lightweight and not so expansive. We can adapt several grippers from SCHUNK, FESTO, GIMATIC, FIPA and others easily. Please ask us. Also suction systems are (usually) […]
