igus
Igus manufactures lightweight gantry style, delta pick-and-place, robotic arms, as well as 7th Axis Robot Slide, a robot transfer unit (RTU) for cobots. Used in pick-and-place and material handling applications, lightweight robotic arms from igus includes robolink® arms available with either 4 or 5 axes, as well as 4 and 6 axis ReBeL (Robotic embedded-BDLC & electronics Link) cobots with service robot capabilities. All Igus robotic arms use lightweight, plastic robotic components that operate without any need for external lubricants which eliminates routine maintenance along with the chance of lubrication-based machine downtime. Drylin® gantry robots, also known as cartesian or linear robots, consist of two base X-axes, a Y-axis, and an optional Z-axis. Their self-lubricating plastic liners have been engineered to slide instead of roll and to run smoother and quieter than recirculating ball bearings. Typical applications include pick-and-place, sorting, labeling, measurement, inspection automation, and repetitive material handling. Igus also sells robotic joints, gearbox joints and other robotic components and accessories.
Kawasaki Robotics
Kawasaki Robotics USA is a supplier of a wide range of industrial articulated arm, collaborative, and delta robots used in palletizing, depalletizing, material handling, pick and place, case packing and other packaging and processing applications. Featured amongst Kawasaki’s product line of hundreds of robots is the RD080N, designed specifically for applications where a compact, high-speed, palletizing robot is required. Despite its slim space saving design, the RD080N can manipulate loads up to 80 kg and create pallet stacks over seven feet tall. The unique 5-axis design of the robot enables it to be floor or ceiling mounted.

Sigma Robotics, LLC
Sigma Robotics designs, builds, and integrates optimized robotic solutions for the warehousing, packaging, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries. Sigma Robotics offers three standard work cell solutions. The SR-FIX Work Cell features a single robotic cell with a customizable 2’ x 4’ table, utilizing FANUC Arc Mate, M10, or M20 robots, or ABB 1600 or 2600 robots. Fully enclosed with an automatic door system, HMI touchscreen, e-stop, and integrated safety light curtain, this work cell ensures a secure operating environment. The SR-500T and SR-750T Work Cells both incorporate a single robot with dual-sided turntables, accommodating 500 kg and 750 kg payloads, respectively. Configured with round turntables and customizable work table sizes, these cells maintain safety through automatic doors, HMI touchscreens, e-stops, and integrated safety light curtains.
TDI Packsys
TDI Packsys offers a range of 3- and 4-axis robots to bring further automation to the pack-out process.
