Your Challenges
Small quantities, many variants, high manual effort
It is very challenging to achieve profitable productivity for small production runs or many product variants with classical automation technology. There is a lack of flexible, reusable solutions. A particular challenge is increasing the efficiency of process steps that are currently performed manually. Automation efforts are usually tedious and lead to external dependencies.
Our Solution
The system robodev is an intelligent modular automation system that can be integrated and put into operation within a few hours in almost all manual workstations and production lines. The graphical robodev assistent is intuitive to use and requires no programming knowledge. The robodev modules are simple and flexible. Thus, you can automate tasks on your own. Achieve immediate productivity gains or quality improvements. Short delivery times, quick return on investment.
system robodev
The overall system consists of intelligent mechatronic modules that can be combined with each other as desired and an innovative software assistant. This combination enables automation solutions that are easy to handle and quickly adaptable.
robodev applications
The system robodev is particularly suitable for production environments characterised by manual production tasks. Feeding, handling, machining and assembly of workpieces as well as quality assurance can be automated quickly, productively and efficiently.

robodev modules
The robodev modules provide different actors and sensors as well as a selection of functional modules. To add further external components, the control unit of the system can be extended with additional interface modules. For easy setup, you only need familiar aluminum profiles and their standard connectors.
Actuator: rd.Linear.250 - 1250
The linear motion module is equipped with a fully integrated drive and performs movements up to 1250 mm stroke. It reaches speeds of up to 300 mm/s with a payload of 5 kg .
Actuator: rd.Drive.HighSpeed
The extremely precise rotary drive of this rotary motion module enables a positioning accuracy of up to 0.1°. The unit provides low torque at high speed .
Actuator: rd.Drive.Torque
The rotary motion module has a fully integrated servo drive, achieves torques of up to 7 Nm with a speed of up to 360 °/s.
Actuator: rd.LED.Spot
The LED lighting module is equipped with an RGBW spot and thus offers a very wide color spectrum. With an opening angle of 20º and 10 Watt light output, the module offers the perfect lighting for your processes.
Actuator: rd.Vacuum.500
Thanks to the integrated vacuum generator, the vacuum gripper works completely independently. Due to the variable number of exchangeable suction cups, you can optimally adjust the gripper to parts of up to 500 g.
Sensor: rd.Camera.Stereo
The stereo camera module provides intelligent image processing with two independent lenses. Focus, aperture and zoom are manually adjustable. Image are directly processed on the module.
Display: rd.HMI.7
With this 7-inch multi-touch control panel, you can conveniently control the automatic process and display all relevant process parameters.
Interface: rd.IO.4
You can connect external devices via this mixed signal IO device. The unit has analog as well as digital inputs and outputs and can supply external components with 24VDC.
Interface: rd.Connect.RS232
This interface module allows the connection of external components via a serial RS232 interface.
Actuator: rd.Gripper.3
This mechanical 2-finger parallel gripper with adaptable fingers provides 3mm of stroke per jaw. The gripping force can be adjusted and internal sensors provide status monitoring.
Sensor: rd.Teach.6D
This freely mountable teach module enables the user to directly input target positions in up to six degrees of freedom. In addition, this module can be used for other force sensing applications, e.g. as a probe.
Safety: rd.Safety.EStop
Required in every configuration: The emergency-stop control element connected to the rd.Master is a pressure switch for immediate stopping of all drive modules.
Cable: rd.Hybrid.250 - 3000
This high-quality hybrid connection cable provides fieldbus connectivity within the system and supplies all modules with power. The uniform connector simplifies the connection of all module types. The cable is available in different lengths.
Control: rd.Master.500
The rd.Master.500 supplies the other robodev modules with power and controls the entire system. The module features LAN and WLAN connectivity and is the gateway to external components and IT systems.
robodev assistant
Automation can be so intuitive: The robodev assistant allows you to directly translate your production process to an automation process. Designed for the manufacturing specialist, the assistant is intuitive to use, process oriented and does not require programming skills.
Dashboard
Via the dashboard, you have an overview of your individually set up processes at all times - clear and in real time.
Manual Control
The manual control allows you to operate and control the robodev modules on an individual basis.
Process Editor
Use the process editor to graphically define the manufacturing process in simple, manageable steps and thus control and combine the modules as a whole.
Automatic Mode / HMI Configuration
The automatic mode allows you to conveniently start and stop previously defined processes and quickly define the desired user interface.
Settings
In the settings menu you create backups of processes, configure special machine settings and can connect to external IT systems.
robodev company
robodev GmbH is a technology spin-off that emerged from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in 2016. The innovation behind system robodev is based on years of research and development in the field of modular and service robotics. Easy-to-use, comprehensible technology that makes automation accessible to every manufacturer - that is our motivation.
