Plastic Strain Wave Gearings Enable 6-Axis Robotics
January 1, 2017
Plastic strain wave gearing from igus offers lightweight, low wear robotic joints for the igus Robolink D system.
For customizable robotic systems, igus has further updated the Robolink D modular robotic kit with new strain wave gearings in two installation sizes. The gearing, available as an individual component or with integrated NEMA motor, consists of an outer ring gear and flexible, wear-resistant inner ring gear made from self-lubricating, wear-resistant iglide plastic. "The strain wave gearing has minimal backlash and ensures a precise adjustment with smoothness," explained Martin Raak, Product Manager for Robolink systems at igus GmbH.
The Robolink system is completely modular with no order minimums. Robolink D offers users the ability to assemble custom robotic systems for a range of applications. Separate joints, which are motor-driven directly on the axis, are available in a range of installation sizes. A complete 6-axis arm with strain wave gearing is also available, along with universal gripper adaptors, which allow the attachment of a range of different grippers on the Robolink D joints.
Additionally, an online configurator is available to let users configure and assemble custom Robolink D joints.
