Smart Igus Cobot with digital ecosystem
Igus presents the Service robot Rebel. Just one year after the first presentation of the modular gearbox for cobots, igus is already recording 20 automation projects per week. In doing so, igus relies entirely on its Motion Plastics expertise: the use of plastic makes the robot, weighing 8,2 kg, the lightest service robot with cobot function in its class. All mechanical components in the Rebel are developed and manufactured by igus.

A pair of capacitive sensor is used wherever precise measurement results are required. Due to the very good temperature stability, the capacitive measuring principle is particularly suitable for applications in which temperature fluctuations appear. Other sensor technologies such as laser sensors, which record a strong temperature drift in the signal, are also interesting. The capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon are often used for quality assurance in the process or as measurement sensors for complete control loops. The sensors measure vibrations, deflection, expansion, path, deflection, deformation, thickness and much more.
