The focus of the video is an igus gantry, which is used in combination with a Kolver screw gripper. The igus gantry is a high-precision device known for its ability to perform accurate movements in a three-dimensional space. The Kolver screw gripper is a powerful tool known for its ability to precisely handle and manipulate screws.

During the test, the igus gantry is used to move the Kolver screw gripper to various positions. The screw gripper then performs a series of tasks, including gripping, turning, and positioning screws.

The main purpose of this test is to verify compliance with the cycle time. The cycle time refers to the time needed to complete a full cycle of tasks. In this case, the cycle includes moving the screw gripper to a screw, gripping the screw, turning and positioning the screw, and finally returning the screw gripper to its starting position.

The video shows how the igus gantry and the Kolver screw gripper work together to perform these tasks with impressive precision and speed. It becomes clear that both devices are capable of adhering to the specified cycle time, which underscores their efficiency and performance.

In our latest customer test video, filmed in our new robotics laboratory in Providence, Rhode Island, we showcase the integration of the K-DUCER system from our partner, Kolver, with our gantry robot.

The K-DUCER is an intelligent transducerized assembly system, featuring the KDU controller and a range of handheld and fixtured electric screwdrivers (KDS) with precise torque control up to 620 lbf-in.

This demonstration highlights how our gantry robot, offering three degrees of freedom, collaborates seamlessly with the K-DUCER system to provide a superior automated screwdriving solution. This combination addresses the tedious and labor-intensive nature of manual screwdriving, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative.

Automated screwdriving is essential for reducing the high labor costs and inefficiencies associated with manual processes. Our low-cost automation solution not only ensures high precision and efficiency but also comes with robust support from our dedicated team of engineers. They are available to assist with integration and provide ongoing support, ensuring a smooth and successful implementation.

The K-DUCER's built-in Modbus TCP and Open Protocol connectivity ensures effortless integration into any smart factory environment, perfectly aligning with Industry 4.0 standards.

Watch the video to see how our partnership with Kolver enables us to deliver this affordable and powerful automated screwdriving solution. Discover how this combination can transform your production line, delivering enhanced efficiency, precision, and scalability for your assembly operations while minimizing costs and maximizing productivity.

In a customer test in the igus Customer Testing Area (CTA), a gluing process was simulated using a Dobot CRA5 robot. Instead of using a syringe and adhesive, the test involved tracing the contour only. This simulation demonstrates the precise motion control and repeatability of the Dobot CRA5. The robot follows the specified contour exactly, showcasing its potential use in real gluing applications to achieve consistent and accurate results. This type of simulation is particularly useful for testing and optimizing the robot’s capabilities before applying actual adhesive in practical scenarios.

A customer test in the igus Customer Testing Area demonstrated that laboratory automation can also be cost-effective. In this test, a pick-and-place task for laboratory applications was performed using the igus ReBel robot and the Schunk EGP25 gripper. The igus ReBel handles precise positioning, while the Schunk EGP25 gripper ensures secure gripping and placing of laboratory samples. This combination enables efficient and cost-effective automation of laboratory processes.

In this customer application, a traditional task from the functional and quality inspection domain has been automated using a collaborative robot. Previously, this task required a dedicated worker. Thanks to the deployment of the cobot, this worker can now be assigned to more complex and value-added tasks. The cobot takes over the repetitive and monotonous inspection processes with high precision and reliability. The investment in the cobot was relatively low and paid off completely within a few months, leading to significant cost savings and increased operational efficiency. Additionally, the cobot improves working conditions by relieving employees from tedious tasks, allowing them to develop further and take on more demanding responsibilities.
