igus® inc. Robolink® Articulated Joint Module

One single part integrates different movements 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. 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.
