Learn more about igus® solutions for automation: https://www.igus.com/automation Contact an igus® product expert: https://www.igus.com/service/contact/?contact=39b47d18-b8bc-45ba-be2f-8c34097aef52 Every automated system starts with the same problem: something has to move — reliably, thousands of times, without stopping the line for maintenance. That\'s the part of automation nobody thinks about until it fails. igus® exists to solve it. We\'re an enabler of motion — the materials and components that let machines, robots, and equipment actually move. Self-lubricating polymer bearings that run without grease. Energy chains that guide cables through millions of cycles. Continuous-flex cables engineered for constant movement. Linear guides, lead screws, and low-cost robotics built on the same principle: motion that doesn\'t require maintenance to keep working. Automation gets the attention. Motion makes it possible. Learn how igus® motion plastics® can reduce cost and eliminate maintenance in your application. #motionplastics #automation #industrialautomation #motioncontrol #engineering #igus Watch Video

6 days ago Set Up a Robot Palletizer Without Any Coding Book a live demo: https://rbtx.com/en-US/rbtxpert Visit the RBTX Marketplace: https://rbtx.com/en-US Most palletizing projects stall on the same problem: automation means hiring a robot programmer. The RBTX Palletizer removes that step entirely — you don\'t program it, you configure it. This walkthrough covers the full setup process, from the operator panel to the configuration screens behind it. What you can configure without writing code: Multiple saved recipes for different products and runs Box definitions for any size you\'re handling Single pallet, dual pallet, or bypass conveyor operation Layer-by-layer stack patterns built exactly how you want them Guided pose teaching using jog and teach buttons on the end-of-arm tool Teaching positions stays simple because the system does the math for you. You set a home pose, a pick pose, and one place reference per side — one pallet means one reference, two pallets means two. From there, the system automatically calculates every position in the stack based on how you built your layers. Configuration also sits behind a password wall, so only authorized personnel can change how the system runs, while day-to-day operators keep a clean panel with recipe selection, enable/disable, auto/manual mode, manual gripper trigger, and live status indicators.
