In this week’s video, we see the drylin delta robot in a PCB assembly application. The three NEMA stepper motors and encoders driving the belt axes ensure a pick rate of at least 60 per minute with a precision of ±0.5 mm. The complete system, which is available directly from stock as a kit or delivered pre-assembled ready to install, has an installation space of up to 420 mm in diameter.
Its maintenance-free belt drive units, lubrication-free link rods, encoders and stepper motors combine to create a lightweight design. The typical ROI period for the drylin delta robot is estimated at just six months, this compares favourably to the industry’s rule-of-thumb target of two years.
