igus ReBeL Cobot, 5 DOF, 606 mm, 2.5 kg

Lightweight cobot versus traditional industrial arms:

The igus ReBeL is built for shared workspaces and tight production cells where a conventional robotic arm would require safety guarding and a control cabinet. Its 7.2 kg weight and integrated control system make it ideal for collaborative tasks without heavy infrastructure.

• For pick and place on a shared assembly line, the 606 mm reach and 2.5 kg payload handle small components without needing a fenced cell.
• In lab or educational settings, free igus Robot Control software and Modbus TCP/IP, ROS, and Python support eliminate licensing costs and programming barriers.
• For inspection or delicate handling tasks, 1 mm repeatability ensures consistent precision on repetitive operations.
• In compact workspaces under 2 square metres, the lightweight design and near 360 degree joint rotation provide flexible movement without floor space demands of larger arms.
