igus®, a global leader in motion plastics and innovative automation devices, is pleased to introduce the DR1000 four-axis delta robot that combines high speed and precision for demanding industrial applications.
igus®, a global leader in motion plastics and innovative automation devices, is pleased to introduce the DR1000 four-axis delta robot that combines high speed and precision for demanding industrial applications.
Boasting a 1,000-millimeter working diameter and an additional rotary axis that provides four degrees of freedom, the DR1000 allows robots to seamlessly grip and orient components. Its pick rate of 96 picks per minute makes it particularly desirable for end-of-line pick-and-place operations as well as conveyor belt picking or stacking tasks in three-dimensional spaces.
The DR1000 delta robot has a modular design for easy integration into existing automation systems. In addition, this versatile unit can also be equipped with a gripper or suction cup to execute complex tasks and can be customized to meet hard-to-satisfy requirements.
Intuitive, User-Friendly Control
Users can take advantage of igus' optional Robot Control (iRC) software for quick and easy deployment. Integrated into the control system, the license-free software features an intuitive interface and a uniform operating concept that reduces planning time and speeds up commissioning. For users with their own control systems, each axis can be operated with individual motor controllers, such as the igus dryve® D1 motor controller.
Pricing for the DR1000 four-axis delta robot starts at $24,671.19 (USD).

About igus®
igus GmbH develops and produces motion plastics. These self-lubricating, high-performance polymers improve technology and reduce costs wherever things move. In energy supplies, highly flexible cables, plain and linear bearings, and lead screw technology made of tribo-polymers, igus is the worldwide market leader. The family-run company based in Cologne, Germany, is represented in 35 countries and employs 4,600 people across the globe. In 2023, igus generated a turnover of €1.136 billion. Research in the industry's largest test laboratories constantly yields innovations and more user security. Two hundred 234,000 articles are available from stock, and service life can be calculated online. In recent years, the company has expanded by creating internal startups, for example, ball bearings, robot drives, 3D printing, the RBTX platform for Lean Robotics, and intelligent "smart plastics" for Industry 4.0. Among the most significant environmental investments are the "chainge" program - recycling used e-chains and participating in an enterprise that produces oil from plastic waste.
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
