Certina ensures that its watches achieve the minimum running time. In their automated quality control, they use a room gantry from igus and a camera. With this combination, all watches can be approached individually and checked using a camera image.

The room gantry offers two key advantages:

This prevents contamination of the clocks.

The gantry can be adapted to different requirements.

In this way, Certina ensures that every watch ticks exactly as long as it should.

The development project "ChocoMatic" is an automatic chocolate selection device with an igus robot arm. It is mounted on an igus guide. The customer controls a robot with a tablet or his own smartphone, which compiles the individual selection for the customer from a pallet of different chocolates and places it in a box.

These applications are all about interaction between the customer and the robot.

The employees of the store where a robot has been set up do not need any training and do not have to perform any difficult tasks. The robot works completely "on its own", all you have to do is refill the chocolates and press the start button.

The robot is equipped with a camera and takes pictures of all the chocolates. From the data, it automatically learns where the different types of chocolates are located. The robot also measures the height of each type of praline. This information is later used when filling a box of chocolates. For each praline requested by the customer, a picture is first taken to determine the exact position of the praline. It is then picked up exactly in the center and placed in the box. The robot also takes into account the position of each praline in the box. It will therefore not immediately place the "difficult", round chocolates in the box, but will first determine a sequence in order to then decide when it is best to deposit these chocolates.

If a certain type of chocolate is no longer available, the customer cannot select it and employees are notified and asked to refill that type of chocolate. The setup provides excellent service to the customer and is very easy for employees to use. Technical expertise is not required.

The robolink series from igus has two advantages:

This design serves mainly as a tourist attraction in chocolate stores and museums that live mainly from tourism. On the other hand, it can also reduce the cost of such business. The employees can fully concentrate on the customer's wishes and help him further, while the customer assembles a box of chocolates and gives orders to the robot.

In addition, this automatic chocolate counter is also more hygienic because the chocolates do not come into contact with people and are placed directly in the box.

The Dr. BOY GmbH & Co. KG, known for its compact and economical injection molding machines, has combined the BOY 35 E series with igus’s Low Cost Automation to enable automated parts handling. This leads to a faster return on investment for customers.

The BOY 35 E machine is particularly compact and efficient, ideal for the production of precision parts in tight tolerance ranges.A distinguishing feature of the BOY 35 E in the technical center is the integrated portal from igus, which provides simple parts handling. This portal is part of igus’s broad Low Cost Automation offering and allows customers to quickly and easily put a pick-and-place linear robot into operation for various tasks. The system is maintenance-free and can be individually assembled and programmed thanks to an online configurator.

The pneumatic pickers from BOY are replaced by the Low Cost Automation linear portals from igus, as these are more flexible and cost-efficient. The BOY 35 E with integrated Low Cost Automation from igus was first presented at fakuma 2023 and attracted great interest.

Until now, the sealant was applied to the metal part by hand. The dosage was also controlled by hand, the exact placement of the sealant required a lot of concentration and took a very long time.

The igus spatial gantry enables precise application of the sealant to the metal part. The parallel work of man and machine increases the production capacity by a factor of 4. In addition, the station can be operated by any employee.

Downstream thread cutting

In this video, we present an advanced solution for downstream thread cutting in production. The setup of our ReBeL robot and the integration of the IRC are shown, as well as the operation of the rotary conveyor and the camera for precise detection and positioning of the workpieces. The gripper is demonstrated in action, handling the workpieces safely and efficiently. The step feeder supports the process with its precise conveying technique, ensuring that the entire system operates smoothly and efficiently thanks to reliable power and data transmission. The benefits of this solution include increased production speed, reduced scrap, and improved workplace safety. Additionally, a low footprint is ensured, facilitating integration into various production environments.
