The video demonstrates a specific process in the food industry. An igus gantry and an FDA-compliant soft gripper are used to handle yogurt cups. The soft gripper picks up the yogurt cups and places them precisely into cartons. The entire process is carried out smoothly and efficiently, which underlines the performance and reliability of the igus gantry and the FDA-compliant soft gripper.

GorillaFinger SoftActuator - For netted goods, large and heavy objects

The GorillaFingers are ideal for handling netted goods, e.g. 2.5 kg bags of potatoes, carrots or apples: Potatoes, carrots or even apples. Furthermore, the large and wide fingers allow pasta to be gripped gently thanks to their large surface area.

This includes sack and net goods such as potato sacks, carrot sacks and apple sacks. But melons and lettuce heads are also gripped securely by the GorillaFingers and can also be handled at high speeds.

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.

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.

In this application, a pick-and-place solution was tested for a customer using an igus linear robot, a camera, and a conveyor belt. The individual components had to communicate seamlessly to ensure the metal part could be reliably picked up from the conveyor belt and accurately sorted. The integration of the camera for detecting and positioning the metal part, along with the precise control of the linear robot, played a crucial role in ensuring the system’s high reliability and efficiency.

In this specific customer application, a cost-effective solution for loading and unloading a laser engraving machine was sought and successfully implemented. The igus ReBeL robot takes on the task of picking up the parts to be engraved and precisely placing them into the machine. Subsequently, a linear system equipped with a laser engraving head carries out the engraving process. Once the engraving is complete, the robot removes the processed part from the machine and places it for further processing or packaging.

Thanks to the low cost of the cobot, the investment in this automated solution pays off in a very short time, making it particularly attractive for companies looking to reduce their production costs while simultaneously increasing efficiency.
