Autonomous mobile robot (AMR) with fully integrated igus ReBeL as a trade fair exhibit

Unlimited Workspace Expansion with the igus ReBeL and Mobile Robots

Modern automation demands flexible solutions that adapt to varying production needs. At the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg, igus showcased a low-cost solution featuring a mobile Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) combined with the igus ReBeL articulated arm robot. The AMR’s workspace zones are defined via an app, enabling it to autonomously reach robot cells. Equipped with a fully integrated ReBeL and a cobot pump, the system automates efficient task execution in dynamic environments.

What is the Application?

This setup automates workspace expansion by utilizing an AMR to transport the ReBeL robot to defined zones where tasks such as picking and transferring components can be performed.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• Increased Flexibility: Mobile robots enable dynamic adaptation to new workspace layouts.

• Cost Efficiency: A low-cost solution without sacrificing automation capability.

• Simplified Operation: Intuitive app control ensures easy navigation setup.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

The ReBeL articulated robot arm enhances autonomous operations with high precision:

• Compact Design: Lightweight and easily mountable on the AMR.

• Seamless Integration: Fully integrated with cobot pump for versatile tasks.

• Autonomous Operation: Delivers consistent, precise results in diverse locations.

Expanding Automation Flexibility with Mobile Solutions

The combination of the igus ReBeL and AMR demonstrates how workspace limitations can be overcome with mobile, cost-effective automation. By enabling robots to move autonomously and adapt to changing production requirements, this solution boosts flexibility and efficiency, offering scalable benefits for modern manufacturing environments.
