igus delta robot | 4DOF | 1.000 mm | 2,5kg

The igus LCA-DR1000-04 is a four-axis delta robot designed for pick and place, sorting, and stacking operations in production environments.

It operates across a 1,000 mm working diameter and handles payloads up to 2.5 kg with repeatability of 0.3 mm.

The system achieves up to 96 picks per minute, making it suitable for dynamic end-of-line tasks.

The fourth axis provides rotational capability for component orientation in addition to standard gripping functions.

Control options include the free igus Robot Control software, available as a cabinet version, which supports Modbus TCP/IP, ROS, Python, and other interfaces for integration into existing automation systems.

Alternatively, the robot can be operated with custom controllers.

Each axis can be controlled individually using separate motor controllers such as the igus dryve D1, requiring one controller per axis plus a master controller for motion coordination.

This architecture requires user-programmed inverse kinematics.

The robot weighs 30 kg and features a modular design with open interfaces for integration flexibility.

Typical applications include conveyor belt operations where the additional rotational axis enables handling of objects at multiple angles and access to constrained spaces.
