The selection of robotic arms from igus includes robolink® arms available with either 4 or 5 axes, as well as 4 and 6 axis ReBeL (Robotic embedded-BDLC & electronics Link) cobots with service robot capabilities. All of our robotic arms use lightweight plastic components that operate without any need for external lubricants which eliminates routine maintenance along with the chance of lubrication-based machine downtime. These components also resist dirt, dust & corrosion and reduce noise and vibrations. robolink arms have IP44 rated splashproof versions available, and motor and drive encoders can be provided upon request. The ReBeL cobot has the option for an open source variant, or an end-to-end version with integrated controls in the base and an accompanying power supply unit.
All of our robotic arms can be programmed with the free igus Robot Control (iRC) software, which makes programming simple with an intuitive 3D interface that lets users easily program various movements and functions. Our robot arms can also be outfitted with a 7th axis robot transfer unit to easily expand the robot’s workspace, which is particularly useful for welding, painting, and inspection applications, among others.
Applications/Industries: Material Handling & Assembly, Welding, Painting & Drilling, Automanufacturing, Pick and Place

A: robolink® is an articulated arm robot that can be equipped with tools such as grippers, electromagnets, suction cups, cameras, etc. The robolink® arm can be easily configured to ensure a short setup time and serve as a low-cost solution for a number of different applications in a variety of industries. It is available in 4 and 5 degrees of freedom.
A: robolink® carries up to 3kg payload.
A: The nominal range provides the working area in which the robot can operate in the long term. In the short term, the robot can also work in the maximum range area.
A: The range of our robolink® extends from 510mm to 790mm. Visit our online shop to learn more about the range of the individual versions of robolink®.
A: These robots will not be the best solution for every task, so please get in touch with us. We can perform tests and 3D simulations as well as apply our experience to determine which product will best suit your application.
A: Yes, most definitely. You have the option of requesting an appointment with our sales team, live or virtually (via Microsoft Teams). Contact us!
A: robolink® can be equipped with practically any end effector, so long as the payload is below the maximum range of the robot arm. End effectors may include electromagnets, grippers, suction cups and others. At RBTX.com, our online marketplace for robotic components, you can buy various components from our partner suppliers.
A: For robolink® you can use many different cables and hoses, from pneumatic tubes to sensor cables. The possibilities are nearly unlimited!
