igus is expanding its broad range of low-cost automation solutions with a new drylin 3-axis linear gantry. The new XXL Large DIY 3-axis linear gantry robot from igus has an action radius of 2,000 x 2,000 x 1,500 mm and is particularly suitable for palletizing applications of up to 10 kg. Pricing for the new robot starts as low as $7,000, including the control system. The system is easy to set up and program using the do-it-yourself principle – without the help of a system integrator.

降低障碍以实现效益的自动化
DIY套件使公司能够快速轻松地安装拾取和放置的3轴线性龙头，以进行与码垛，分类，标签和质量检验相关的任务。
“Palletizing robots created in collaboration with external service providers cost between $95,000 and $135,000. This is beyond the budget of many small companies,” said Alexander Mühlens, head of the Low-Cost Automation Business Unit at igus. “We have therefore developed a solution that is many times more cost-effective due to the use of high-performance plastics and lightweight materials, such as aluminum. For example, the drylin XXL Large DIY palletizing gantry robot costs between $7,000 and $10,000, depending on the expansion stage. It is a low-risk investment that usually pays off within a few weeks.”
DIY kit can be quickly assembled without prior knowledge
买方作为DIY套件接收3轴线性龙门。它由两个齿形带轴和齿轮悬臂轴组成，具有步进电机和动作范围，2,000×2,000 x 1,500 mm。最大长度可达6,000×6,000 x 1,500 mm。
包还包括一个控制system, cables, as well as the free igus Robot Control (iRC) software. Users can assemble the components into a ready-to-use system in just a few hours – without external help, prior knowledge, or lengthy training. And if additional components such as camera systems or grippers are needed, users will quickly find them on the robotics marketplacerbtx..
Automation relieves employees
例如，笛卡尔机器人可用于传送带，该传送带将产品从注塑机运输。机器人从传送带拾取了最大重量10公斤的部件，以高达500mm / s的速度运输，并将它们放在托盘上，可重复性为0.8毫米。这种自动化缓解了物理上要求耗时的码垛工作的员工，释放资源以获得更重要的任务。
The system also requires no maintenance. The system’s linear axes consist of corrosion-free aluminum and the carriages move via plain bearings made of high-performance iglide plastics. The self-lubricating properties of the igus bearings enable a low-friction, dry operation without external lubricants.
3D数字双床使万无一失的机器人编程
The iRC software from igus, enables simple and intuitive robot programming and control, allowing for an easy entry into automation. The free software allows users to program different robot kinematics.
“对于没有内部IT专家的许多公司来说，编程机器人通常充满了问题”，Mühlens说。“这就是为什么我们开发IRC，这是一个可直观地类似于常用的Office软件的自由软件应用程序，并允许直观地编程运动。是什么让它特殊是软件是免费的，然后可以在真正的机器人上使用由此产生的低码编程。“
软件的核心是3轴线性龙门的3D数字双胞胎，可用于仅为几次点击定义运动。
“Prospective buyers can use the 3D model to check whether desired movements are actually feasible before making a purchase. Furthermore, we invite all interested parties to try out our robots live or via the Internet free of charge. We support them during commissioning and show what is possible with low-cost robots. It makes the investment virtually risk-free,” said Mühlens.
