Area gantry robot
For a wide variety of tasks, igus offers robot portals as surface, line and room portals. igus portals contain pre-configured drylin linear modules and linear axes with igus stepper motors as well as all components required for self-assembly.

Application examples
Typical applications of our drylin® area portal robots are pick and place, conveyor belt picking and stacking tasks in two-dimensional space. In most cases, the area portal robot offers the platform on which our customers build their application. In the case of area portal robots, these are often structures that are used to inspect components, for example in quality assurance.

X axes
consisting of: two drylin® ZLW-1040 toothed belt axes, basic version, toothed belt tension 150 N, feed rate 66 mm/rev, aluminum profile, surface: hard anodised, neoprene toothed belt, black, guide carriage with a length of 100 mm, traverse made of plastic, driven on one side by an igus NEMA23 size stepper motor with encoder, mechanically synchronized by an AWMR-12 aluminum line shaft

Y axis
consisting of: drylin® ZLW-1040 toothed belt axis, basic version, toothed belt tension 150 N, feed rate 66 mm/rev, aluminum profile, surface: hard anodised, neoprene toothed belt, black, guide carriage with a length of 100 mm, traverse made of plastic, driven by an igus stepper motor of size NEMA23 in the version with M12 connectors and encoder

Control system
The igus® Robot Control software enables simple and intuitive robot control and programming and thus an easy entry into automation. The modular structure makes it possible to control different igus kinematics, such as delta robots. The portal robot can be controlled directly with all its advantages by our igus® Robot Control.
The free and license-free igus robot control software is integrated into the control and thus uses a uniform operating concept and consistent communication services for many components of a system. This means less project planning effort and faster commissioning.
The igus Robot Control is not part of the article and can be purchased from us as an option. A master control is not necessary.

If you want to use your own (robot) controller, that's no problem either.
Alternatively, it is also possible to operate each axis individually with a controller. For example with our igus® dryve D1 motor control. With this control architecture, you need a motor control and an additional master control for each linear axis or motor, which controls the coordination of the movement. You then have to program the inverse kinematics for the delta robot yourself in your development environment.
The motor controls are not part of the article and can be purchased from us as an option. A master controller is currently not offered by igus.

Optional accessories
Cable set for 2-axis kinematics in 3, 5 or 10 m, igus® Robot Control for Gantry robots or Other dimensions available upon request sold separately.

Further information
Further strokes up to 3 m are available as standard and also up to 6 m and 100 kg after technical examination.
