Robot barista with maintenance-free components for continuous use

Preparing customised coffee beverages has traditionally required skilled baristas and significant operational effort. Today, robotic automation can deliver the same consistency and precision with high reliability, barista robots. Robotic systems are capable of continuous 24/7 operation without fatigue, making them well suited for high-demand or unattended environments such as airports, service stations, office buildings and unmanned vending locations, including remote or low-staffed sites.

Our automation portfolio includes 4-axis and 5-axis robots, SCARA robots and collaborative robots (cobots), all of which can be integrated with grinders, milk systems, syrup dispensers and cup-handling modules. These systems enable a fully automated coffee-preparation process, delivering repeatable beverage quality within compact kiosk-scale installations.

drylin spherical insert bearings in the bartender robot

A robot that replaces the bartender at a house party: that's the idea behind Barobot, developed by two inventors and founders of a Polish start-up. The vending machine can independently produce 1,000 cocktails from 12 bottles. For the transport carriage, which glides on a steel rod and moves the glass to the bottles, the developers were looking for a bearing with as little play as possible that is quiet, food-safe and cost-effective. Conventional metal ball bearings were not satisfactory. At igus, the perfect solution was found in drylin linear spherical insert bearing ...
