Igus has expanded its range of its modular robolink systemswith the introduction of the the robolink D direct drive articulated arm. The company says this is a more durable solution compared with remote drive versions.
 
This new robolink is driven by a worm gear drive and a NEMA 17 or 23 stepper motor directly in the joint and the company says these can be controlled using any commercially available control module.
