What is a cobot vs. a robot?

A cobot, or collaborative robot, is designed to work alongside humans in shared workspaces with safety features and lighter payloads, whereas traditional industrial robots typically operate in isolated areas with higher speeds and heavier loads. The igus Robolink DP SW Cobot is a collaborative robot built for light assembly, machine tending, and inspection tasks in environments where human workers are present.

What can the igus Robolink DP SW Cobot 790 mm handle?

The Robolink DP SW handles assembly, machine loading, laboratory automation, and inspection tasks with a 2 kg payload capacity and 790 mm reach. It repeats movements within 1 mm for consistent, precise part handling.

How much does the igus Robolink DP SW weigh?

The Robolink DP SW weighs 22.4 kg total, making it easily repositionable across production lines and flexible for different mounting configurations.

Can the igus Robolink DP SW work in dusty or wet environments?

Yes, the Robolink DP SW has an IP44 rating that resists dust and water splash, making it suitable for demanding laboratory and production environments.

What control systems does the igus Robolink DP SW use?

The Robolink DP SW is controlled via igus Robot Control (iRC) and supports Modbus, TCP/IP, and ROS, enabling integration into existing automation systems with open interfaces.

What motors power the igus Robolink DP SW Cobot?

The Robolink DP SW uses NEMA23 XL stepper motors operating at 24/48 V with up to 4.2 A current, delivering the precision needed for consistent part handling.

Lightweight cobot vs. fixed industrial robot arms:

The Robolink DP SW is a compact collaborative arm designed for flexibility and ease of setup, where traditional industrial robots demand permanent mounting and complex integration. Choose this cobot when you need to reposition the robot across lines, integrate quickly into existing systems, or operate in space-constrained cells.

For delicate parts under 2 kg needing 1 mm repeatability, the NEMA23 stepper motors and open iRC control deliver precision without heavy payload infrastructure.
In shared workspaces or labs, the 22.4 kg weight and IP44 rating allow quick relocation and operation near water or dust without downtime.
For SMEs and integrators avoiding custom automation, Modbus, TCP/IP, and ROS support plug into existing control cabinets without redesign.
Assembly, machine loading, and inspection tasks on high-mix, low-volume lines benefit from the 790 mm reach in a footprint small enough to move between production areas.
