The assembly of energy chains is a complex process. The in-house engineering team at igus has made the process more efficient by automating sub-processes.
A 3-axis delta robot takes the individual parts from a vibrating table and places them in the correct orientation on a conveyor belt. In a further step, the robot picks up a part of the energy chain and places it at another location for pickup by a gripper.
