ReBeL

With the ReBeL, igus fully relies on its motion plastics expertise: The use of plastic makes the robot, with a net weight of around 8 kilograms, the lightest 6-axis robot with cobot function in its class. Its load capacity is 2 kg and its reach is 664 millimeters. This qualifies the robot for a wide range of tasks: whether it is on an automated guided vehicle, as a harvest robot or as a bartender. At its heart is the world’s first fully integrated strain wave gear, suitable for industrial application and made of plastic with motor, absolute encoder, force control and controller. The ReBeL is available in two variants: as an open source version without robot control, power supply and software for 3,900 euros or as a fully equipped plug-and-play version for 4,970 euros.
