Line gantry pick and place exhibition showcase

Simplified Automation with igus Gantries: When Less is More

Automation doesn't always require the complexity of an articulated arm robot. This trade show exhibit demonstrated how a two-degree-of-freedom gantry system can effectively handle pick-and-place applications. Gantries use linear axes to achieve multidimensional movement and are available from igus in line, area, and space configurations to suit diverse tasks. Each igus gantry comes preconfigured with drylin linear modules/axes, NEMA stepper motors, and all necessary components for self-assembly, providing an accessible and efficient solution.

What is the Application?

The gantry automates basic pick-and-place operations, ideal for tasks requiring straightforward motion in industrial environments while minimizing complexity.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• Simplified Design: Two degrees of freedom meet automation demands with lower complexity.

• Cost-Effective: Preconfigured components reduce installation time and expenses.

• Versatile Use: Available in line, area, and space configurations for various applications.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

igus gantries deliver multiple benefits:

• Reliable Motion: Efficient and precise movement across axes.

• Scalable Solutions: Customizable for small-footprint or larger applications.

• User-Friendly Assembly: Designed for self-assembly with clear instructions.

Achieving Automation Simplicity with igus Gantries

Simplified, efficient, and cost-effective, igus gantries prove that automation doesn't always need high complexity. By streamlining pick-and-place tasks with minimal degrees of freedom, these systems offer flexible and scalable solutions for modern industrial needs, ensuring reliability and affordability.
