Robolink: Articulated joint modules for robots
Lightweight. Compact.
Product development blog
Read updates on the status of product development.
Application examples
Customer applications using Robolink articulated joint modules.
One single part integrates different movements
Inspiration bionics – like muscles, bones and sinews for human beings.
Pressure is converted to tensile forces via highly tensile wire ropes (the “sinews”) made from artificial fibers.
Robolink humanoid robot joints are chemical resistant, dry-running, low friction and virtually wear-free. Compared to steel, they are lower priced and more energy-efficient due to being so lightweight. Underwater use is also possible.
igus® now offers a lightweight, maintenance- and corrosion-free range of robot joints for humanoid systems or other automated applications.
The carbon-fiber plastic joints can rotate and oscillate freely via four wire ropes
No more expensive milling, cutting or DIY systems
Moving mass is reduced to a minimum
The actuators (engines, pneumatics and hydraulics) and the control module (DP, PC) are kept separate
