Industrial cleaning robots for automation
Automated robotic systems for various component cleaning in industrial and manufacturing environments.
There are many environments and applications where robotic cleaning systems are used. Systems such as:
- automation
- modular systems
- splash-water resistant robot joints
Using igus solutions, these are used to reduce maintenance cycles, help prevent contamination and improve service life. Not only that, with our bearing technology of high-performance polymers infused with sold lubricants, we eliminate the needs for oil, grease, any lubrication.
Why choose igus for robots for industrial cleaning applications?
There are many different applications that can utilise robots. For example, in addition to positioning and pick and place, it is also possible to efficiently automate cleaning. Our robot systems are precise and of consistent quality. The high modularity based on the building block principle makes Low Cost Automation universally applicable.
Depending on the application, a customised solution can be assembled from the modular system and supplemented with other products. In addition to conventional or watertight igus® stepper motors, the robot joints can also be combined with other motors or pneumatic drives. Modular joint systems are not tied to a specific control system, therefore offers maximum freedom in the planning and implementation of automation processes.
Examples of cleaning robot applications
Cleaning application in metalworking
Problem- SBS Ecoclean had a requirement for a cleaning robot which can operate within a installation space. Components are smeared with cutting oils so solution needed to be compatible for washdowns.
Solution- The robolink® DP robot carries a cleaning lance, which enables it to clean even narrow holes. The robolink® DP is equipped with motors and gearboxes suitable for splash water.
- Protection class IP 44 against splash water
- Resistant to water and production chemicals
- Reduction of manual and unpleasant processes
- cost-effective cleaning processes through the use of low cost Automation solutions
Deburring, grinding, polishing
In order to automate simple process steps cost-effectively and relieve the burden on employees, sometimes complex and expensive technology is not required.
Problem- We needed an automation solution for a grinding process.
Solution- The polishing robot from igus® is easy to integrate and is characterised by manageable costs.
- Flexible use thanks to multiple axes
- Scalable system
- Increases work safety
- Cost-effective integration and rapid amortisation
Modular robot system automates tedious manual work in large-scale production and scales production capacities
Cleaning application in aquariums
Automation can also be something for your own four walls. Especially in saltwater aquariums, good lighting contributes to algae colonising the panes within a few days.
Problem- To keep the aquarium looking good and presentable, the glass panes need to be cleaned every few days.
Solution- An igus flat linear robot with a simple clock direction control that triggers the cleaning process by means of an impulse.
Thanks to the compact design, the flat linear robot could be seamlessly integrated into the overall concept of the piece of furniture.
- Automated cleaning
- No manual steps necessary
- Can be used for many aquariums thanks to the flexibility of the gantry
- Maintenance and lubrication-free thanks to motion plastic
