The new robolink designer is an online configurator tool from

igus® that allows users to quickly and easily configure individual

robotic systems. With the tool, users can select robolink

components individually and configure a robotic arm step by

step. They can also configure the length of the arm to match the

dimensions a specific work environment, as well as simulate motion

of the robot through rotating its joints. Furthermore, a parts lists

can be saved for future reference, and a quote can be requested for

the configured system.

The digital design tool uses an intuitive CAD interface suitable for

both desktops and tablets.
