igus Robolink on 7th axis for packaging tasks

Inexpensively expand the workspace of an articulated arm robot

In this application, a pick and place process with packages was to be automated. To realize the project as cost-effectively as possible, an igus jointed-arm robot was equipped with a vacuum suction pad to pick up the package safely.

However, since the robot's working space was too small, it was combined with an igus seventh axis. This additional single axis significantly expanded the working space and the customer could be offered the ideal solution.
