Mouser Electronics and igus Announce Global Distribution Agreement for Cost-Effective Robotic Automation Products
Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorised global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, announces a distribution agreement with igus, a global leader in industrial and automation products. With over 60 years of design experience and a strong reputation for quality, igus offers a range of technically advanced “motion plastics” designed for Industry 4.0 and 5.0. Their product portfolio includes flexible cables, robotic components, motor control, and sensors, all aimed at improving technology, reducing costs, and enhancing durability in a wide range of industries, including machine tooling, automotive manufacturing, food and beverage packing, medical and lab equipment, and smart agriculture.
The igus ReBeL® (Robotic embedded-BDLC and electronics Link) cobots, now available from Mouser, are cost-effective and lightweight robotic arms featuring up to six degrees of freedom. These cobots are compact and lightweight in design, making them suitable for assembly tasks, quality inspection tasks, and service areas. Integrated sensors, cameras, and advanced software ensure safety, flexibility, and adaptability in a wide range of environments.
The igus Gantry robots, also known as cartesian or linear robots, feature two base X-axes, a Y-axis, and an optional Z-axis. These robotic devices are ideal for applications where high precision is needed and where a task requires a repetitive motion, such as pick and place, sorting, labelling, and measurement. These Gantry robots feature self-lubricating plastic liners that slide instead of rolling, making them much more efficient than similar devices that use recirculating ball bearings. These robots are lightweight, clean, quiet, corrosion-resistant, and maintenance-free.
The drylin® Delta robots are designed with linear actuators, featuring highly engineered, self-lubricating sliding plastic liners. These liners make them lightweight, quiet, cost-effective, and low-maintenance. The Delta robots are suitable for low-cost automation applications such as belt transfer stations, sorting systems, small parts handling, and fast positioning machines. The Delta robots offer an accuracy of ±0.5 mm.
The igus e-chain® cable carriers guide and protect energy, data, and signal cables in challenging environments. The e-chain cable carriers reduce downtime and increase the service life of cables. These cable carriers feature a low-weight, modular, strong design, smooth contours, and are easy to install. The e-chain carriers are well-suited for cable management in various settings, including industrial, energy, medical, construction, and stage and theatre. Mouser will also be offering igus’ chainflex® cables, which are designed to deliver unmatched reliability, durability, and performance in industrial motion applications. With over 1,300 cable types available to order, chainflex offers a comprehensive range for data, bus, hybrid, control, motor, servo, feedback, coaxial, fibre optic (FOC), robotics, and special applications.
