The Eye-Car

Eye-Car Robot with drylin E: Automation for Inspection and Maintenance

The drylin E motor control system from igus, designed for controlling linear and rotary drives, was chosen for an innovative study project at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences. The Eye-Car exploration robot was developed to perform standardized maintenance tasks in production settings, enabling employees to focus on more critical operations. Equipped with a high-resolution camera, the robot handles visual control and monitoring, making it equally suitable for challenging and hazardous environments. The "eye" in Eye-Car symbolizes both visual inspection and the ability to "explore" surroundings autonomously.

What is the Application?

The Eye-Car automates visual inspection and maintenance tasks in production environments or challenging conditions, ensuring safety and efficiency through robotic control and monitoring.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• Increased Safety: Reduces human exposure to dangerous environments.

• Efficiency Boost: Frees employees for more essential and value-added tasks.

• Precision Monitoring: The high-resolution camera ensures accurate inspections.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

The integration of drylin E makes the Eye-Car:

• Reliable: Consistently controls movement for stable operation.

• Adaptable: Functions effectively in demanding environments.

• Cost-Effective: Provides a scalable solution for inspection automation.

Revolutionizing Inspection Tasks with Eye-Car

The Eye-Car robot demonstrates how igus technology, like drylin E, enables efficient and safe automation. By performing routine maintenance and inspection tasks, this solution helps industrial settings operate more effectively while reducing risks and optimizing human involvement.
