Automate 2015 - igus - Wide range of robotic solutions from igus to be displayed at Automate 2015 in Chicago
The motion plastics manufacturer will be presenting an assortment of solutions for a wide range of industries and applications in booth 332 at McCormick Place March 23-26th.
March 17th, 2015 - East Providence, Rhode Island - igus will be displaying a variety of their motion plastic solutions for robotics at the Automate 2015 trade show, running March 23-26th at McCormick Place in Chicago. igus technical experts will be on hand to demonstrate and explain products like the Triflex RSP multi-axis cable carrier system with adjustable pneumatic retraction, DryLin E linear slide tables with integrated motor, and Robolink modular robotic joints, among others.
DryLin E is a complete linear axis system plus motor, ready to fit into a variety of applications. DryLin E is the latest addition to the modular DryLin range of linear products. Ready to fit linear actuators and drive systems can be fitted either with lead screw drives or belts, and a variety of NEMA steppers, all available from stock and ready to ship in as early as today.
igus Robolink is a lightweight, maintenance and corrosion-resistant range of robotic joints for humanoid systems or other automated applications. The system is compact, offering multiple axes and degrees of freedom. Using Robolink, pressure is converted to tensile forces via cables, which mimic biological sinews. When compared to steel, Robolink is lower priced, and more energy efficient. A variety of drive/control systems are possible.

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.
