Automate material handling with igus® Low-Cost Automation
Affordable, maintenance-free robots for intralogistics, pick and place, and assembly
Material handling is one of the most labor-intensive workflows in any facility and one of the easiest to automate. Whether it's moving product across the floor, loading parts at a machine, or stacking at the end of a line, igus Low-Cost Automation has a proven system for it. igus robots are built from self-lubricating motion plastic components, which means no lubrication, no grease, and no unplanned downtime. That's why they cost up to 25% less than comparable systems and keep running longer.
Benefits:
- Up to 25% less than comparable mobile robots and automation systems on the market
- ROI in as little as 12 months
- Maintenance-free motion plastic components — no lubrication, no grease, no unplanned downtime
- igus Robot Control (iRC) software included — no coding required
- Map a 200m² facility in under 3 minutes and set up movement routes in 15 minutes
- igus uses its own robots internally for material handling — tested in real production, not just in the lab

What's next: humanoid robots for material handling
iggy Rob
iggy Rob is igus's first humanoid robot, built for production and logistics environments where flexible, multi-task automation is needed. It transports goods, loads machines, and performs simple assembly work using the same ReBeL cobot arms and ReBeLMove mobile platform already proven in igus production.
Low-Cost Automation Application Stories
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Low-Cost Automation (LCA) is igus's own product line — gantries, cobots, delta robots, mobile robots, and humanoid robots, all built with igus motion plastic components. RBTX is igus's online marketplace that combines LCA products with robots and components from 100+ certified partners, allowing you to configure and price complete automation systems with guaranteed compatibility.
A: igus offers the ReBeLMove and ReBeLMove Pro autonomous mobile robots for intralogistics and floor transport, the ReBeL cobot for station-level pick and place and machine loading, gantry robots for palletizing and sorting, delta robots for high-speed small parts handling, and the Iggy Rob Industrial humanoid robot for complex transport and assembly tasks. All are built with igus motion plastic components.
A: The ReBeLMove Pro starts at approximately $45,000 USD — around 25% less than comparable AMRs on the market. ReBeL cobot systems for pick and place start significantly lower. All pricing is transparent and available before you speak to anyone.
A: No. The ReBeLMove Pro creates a 3D map of your facility autonomously during a simple exploratory run and allows you to program movement routes in 15 minutes using graphical software, without any coding knowledge. No external system integrator is required.
A: Yes. igus deploys ReBeLMove Pro units in its own production facility to transport ball bearing components from injection molding machines to assembly machines. This gives igus direct operational experience with the same challenges its customers face.
