Articulated modules for robotic applications

Available from igus, robolink is a range of state-of the-art articulated modules that can be used in a wide range of robotic applications – from the packaging industry to animatronic operations and even explosive equipment handling. When equipped with a direct drive situated within the joint, the modules can be combined to create lightweight and cost-effective articulated arms with one to six Degrees of Freedom.

The pneumatic, hydraulic and all data cables are laid through the carbon fibre/plastic articulated arms to control the sensors and sensory components, achieving a simple, lightweight design. As the moving mass is reduced to a minimum, the self-lubricating tribopolymer joints can rotate and pivot freely, and are virtually maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant.
