MACH 2024

igus will showcase robot cells available on the ground-breaking RBTX.com service

The RBTX online platform for building low- cost automation systems was launched in 2021. Partnering with other selected robot and automation equipment providers, RBTX is a marketplace to specify, build, test out and buy automation systems for small, low payload tasks like picking and measuring precise quantities. A typical package covering robot, controller, sensor and gripper costs less than £10,000, and 95% are under £12,000. At MACH igus will showcase the popular 6-axis ReBeL cobot, featuring end effectors by

Schmalz for different gripping actions, a 3 axis igus Delta, and the Scara robot 3 DOF, ideal for use in laboratory work. Plus an education kit for entry- level robotics, including an igus apiro modular drive gearbox system. “igus has increased the number of accessary suppliers on RBTX and we’re building a strong relationship with end effector suppliers Schmalz and Schunk, to help customers get precisely the application they need,” says Low- Cost Automation manager, Adam Sanjurgo. igus is exhibiting at MACH 2024 in Hall 18, stand 440. rbtx.com/en-GB
