RBTX Machine Planner. This configurator tool, which is part of igus' RBTX online marketplace, lets users design complete automated machines fast and cost-effectively. Harnessing proven machine templates and pre-validated, compatible components, RBTX Machine Planner takes the time, expense and risk out of creating an ideal automated device. No robotic expertise is required to build a custom system, and the Planner provides instant pricing, CAD data and CE documentation.
Fairino FR20 Palletizer. Designed to simplify packaging, logistics and machine loading, the Fairino FR20 palletizing cobot supports payloads of up to 44 pounds and stacking heights of approximately 7.8 feet, using an optional lifting column. This user-friendly unit can be controlled via touchscreen, web application or mobile device, and programming is as easy as drag-and-drop. Designed with versatility in mind, Fairino FR20 can be scaled to accommodate various product sizes and layout, yet it is compact enough to be moved by a single person.
igus invites Automate 2026 attendees to stop by Booth 1410 to take a test drive of the RBTX Machine Planner and meet with our experts to learn how our innovative products like the Fairino FR20 meet demanding automation needs.
