Igus offers its own easy-to-use solution. However, many customers require the openness and flexibility of a SIMATIC solution for their production. Our TIA Portal is widely used and also comes with the appropriate HMI systems, thus simplifying system operation.
The proposed solution integrates an Igus gantry portal with advanced Siemens hardware to create a highly efficient and precise motion control setup. This includes the SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE F-TM Stepdrive for accurate motor control, the SIMATIC S7-1511T PLC and ET200SP I/O system for robust automation, and the SIMATIC HMI Unified Panel for intuitive user interaction.
Our solution offers significant benefits to customers by leveraging Siemens engineering with the TIA Portal and well-tested handling application libraries (e.g. LKinCtrl). The extremely compact control cabinet design ensures efficient use of space, while the system's flexibility and adaptability cater to diverse customer needs. Competitive pricing makes this advanced technology accessible, and its integration into the online RBTX catalog simplifies the procurement process. This combination of features ensures a highly efficient, cost-effective, and user-friendly motion control solution.
In this real-life application, Siemens demonstrates how the SIMATIC F-TM Stepdrive extra-low-voltage drive system can be easily integrated into handling applications. This also enables cost-effective applications based on SINAMICS and SIMATIC.
