robolink RL-DP operates a coffee machine with touch display

New from our customer testing area: for a customer application, a 5-axis robot robolink RL-DP was used to operate a coffee machine as a test. The challenge was not only transporting coffee cups to the machine, but also operating the coffee machine's touch display.

Overview of the customer testing area and other services

MyAppCafé coffee robot

Fully automatic barista system mounted maintenance-free with iglidur PRT

If you cannot find an experienced barista, MyAppCafé has the answer: a fully automatic coffee robot that individually prepares top-quality coffee in seconds. A core element of this machine is the removal unit and its bearing support. This is where an igus PRT-04 slewing ring bearing is used.

Automated cocktail machine

Lubrication-free linear axes in automated cocktail mixer

With the “CocktailAvenue”, a start-up company in Friedrichshafen has invented a completely new way of mixing cocktails: a machine takes over this task. Automation technology thus opens up a new, exotic area of application. Also included: drive systems and energy chains from igus.

Maintenance-free dosing of mixed drinks

This participant is showing a completely new product in our manus competition: a fully automatic cocktail machine. At the touch of a button, “The Qube” mixes cocktails and long drinks from up to 12 bottles.

Barobot

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 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 ...

Corrosion-resistant coffee machine

Corrosion-resistant linear guide for coffee machines

This coffee machine brews coffee at the perfect temperature. A drylin N low-profile linear guide system guides the hot water through the machine into the coffee filter. The decisive factors for choosing the plastic guide were its resistance to corrosion from water and water vapour and its smooth movement with absolute freedom from lubricants.

Lubrication-free bearings for coffee grinders

Lubrication-free plain bearings for coffee grinders

The grinder grinds coffee beans into very fine powder. To ensure optimum ground coffee quality, the grinder mechanism must operate consistently and precisely. The bearings must also be very strong and not become clogged with coffee dust. Our lubrication-free iglidur plain bearings ensure this.

Lubrication-free bearings for pizza vending machines

Bearing components in a pizza vending machine

This innovation from the fast food sector can bake a deep-frozen, pre-baked pizza within two minutes and serve it to the customer. Among other things, the machine features a new type of infrared high-performance oven. The pizzas are stored in a deep-frozen state. All bearing components used must therefore function at -20°C.

Tested in the test laboratory for use in the real world

All products are tested for wear and durability under real-life conditions in the igus test laboratory, the largest in the industry. The results are entered into our service life calculation tools for precise durability predictions.

Upon request, igus carries out customer tests to check product use under completely tailored conditions.
