Robot control system with the
igus® Robot Control

The igus Robot Control is the first choice to flexibly and efficiently solve automation tasks in the lower and medium performance range. Communication between the control system and the software of the same name takes place via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. In addition, the control system offers several interfaces via different communication protocols through integrated functions, such as the Modbus or the CRI interface developed in-house. The integrated I/O modules and powerful communication interfaces make both simple and sophisticated machine concepts possible. igus Robot Control allows for simple, intuitive robot programming and control, making it easy to get started with automation. With the modular design, users can control various igus kinematics, such as delta robots, linear robots or articulated robots.

News - igus® Robot Control innovations

Vision App

Vision App

Integration of your camera application

The Vision App makes it easy to set up a wide range of end-of-line tasks - regardless of whether you need to grip round, square or rectangular contours.
  • Uncomplicated and cost-effective integration, five minutes per component
  • Connection of cost-effective USB cameras from a wide range of manufacturers 
  • Graphical configuration directly in the igus® Robot Control software as well as use in in-house factory automation

App Connect

App Connect

Interface for your extensions

The new interface supports you in writing your own apps, e.g. specialised movement algorithms, interfaces to external devices or software. You can write your own apps using Python or C++.
  • Addition of functions and applications to your robot.
  • Reduction of additional hardware and systems through direct software integration
  • Use in in-house factory automation

Simple file conversion

iRC converter

File import via drag and drop

The igus® Robot Control Converter enables users to transfer their programmed coordinates from a CSV, SVG or DXF file directly into robot coordinates. This interface is particularly suitable for gluing and dosing applications.
  • No manual programming of the travel for component contours
  • Fast import of CSV, SVG or DXF files into a robot program
  • CSV converter is used in igus® in-house production

Plug-and-play solution for a quick start

igus Robot Control allows for simple, intuitive robot programming and control, making it easy to get started with automation. After a short learning phase, your employees can control and programme simple applications. With the modular design, users can control various igus kinematics, such as delta robots, linear robots or articulated robots.

Your benefits:
  • Cost-effective
  • Compact and light
  • No unnecessary components in the system

One robot control system for all kinematics

The igus® Robot Control is available as a top-hat (DIN) rail version (integrated into your control cabinet) or as a control cabinet version (stand-alone solution). All versions can be controlled with our developed igus Robot Control software. With the modular design, users can control various igus kinematics, such as delta robots, linear robots or articulated robots.
  • Teach-in: handheld control functions
  • Interfaces: Modbus TCP/IP, 7 digital I/Os, Ethernet CRI, ROS and many more
  • Communication: Ethernet or Wi-Fi
  • Motion sequences: circular movement, velocity commands, if-then-else, matrix calculation, etc.
  • Sample programmes: over 100 example programmes for igus® linear robots, delta robots, articulated arm robots, Scara and many more.

Includes integrated control software

The free-of-charge, licence-free igus Robot Control software is integrated into the control system and thus makes use of a uniform operating concept and consistent communication services for many components of a system. This reduces project planning effort and facilitates commissioning.
  • Test all igus® kinematics in the software in advance
  • With pre-programmed projects for all igus robots, single axes and AGV
  • Intuitive 3D interface with simulation of the robot

The igus® Robot Control software

Robot programming couldn't be easier.
Our software allows for simple and intuitive robot programming and control, making it easy to get started with automation. Due to the modular design, it is possible to control different robot kinematics, for example, delta robots, linear robots and multi-axis joint robots. With the software, users can simulate the individual movements of the robot on the 3D interface.
