The robolink W rope pull robot consists of plastic joints that are connected to each other via aluminum tubes.  It is possible to adjust the lengths of the respective articulated arm. To further reduce the weight, carbon fiber or reinforced plastic tubes are optionally available. The traction cables are guided through the arm and are specially developed Bowden cables.

In this university project, robolink W complete systems are used as arms of the humanoid. They are characterized by being particularly light, as the actual drive, specifically the stepper motor technology, is connected decentrally via Bowden cables. The Bowden cables are guided through the individual joints and thus drive the individual actuators.

Lightweight robots in combination with electric wheelchairs can help to restore the mobility of people with disabilities. These systems make it possible to reach distant objects and perform complex tasks. One example is the assistive robot system EDAN, which consists of a wheelchair with a lightweight robotic arm and a hand. EDAN can be controlled via a joystick or even via muscle signals that are measured directly on the surface of the person's skin. Relatives can also control EDAN and the robotic arm remotely via smartphones or tablets. The lightweight robots are particularly light and flexible, which facilitates transportation between workstations.

The special feature of the motion plastics bot is its construction from high-performance plastics developed by igus. These materials enable a lightweight design and lubricant-free joints, which contributes to a maintenance-free and long service life.

The joints with cable pulls as well as the individual components can be purchased separately.

A small robot in a large hall. Low Cost Robotics is also perfectly suited for automotive production. In the Volkswagen plant in Emden, a robolink robot arm from igus is used in the Passat B8 PA production. The compact dimensions, the performance data and a fast ROI are the advantages of the robolink. Thanks to the low weight of the robot, no enclosure is needed after a risk analysis. The robot arm takes over the bonding of acoustic measures in the area of the rear battery console in the Passat B8 PA. Two adhesive seams are applied. Until now, in the line process at the VW plant in Emden, the rear battery consoles were manually removed from containers by employees, positioned on a glue table and provided with two acoustic adhesive seams. The console was then installed in the side trunk area. The rear battery is only installed in vehicles with higher engines. This additionally required production time causes an activity content of over 120% in the employee's workload diagram, which means that the employee cannot maintain his work cycle / area. He must then go further with the following vehicle, which can lead to stress and thus to errors. Likewise a continuous constant adhesion at the battery console cannot be ensured by the manual process. By using the low-cost robot robolink W from igus for the automated removal of the battery console from parts stations and the automated gluing of the two acoustic adhesive seams, the employee is able to stay in his work area even if a Passat requires the installation of a rear battery console. The automation built by VinciTech BV has also resulted in a glue application that corresponds to a quality improvement.
