Drilling platform
High costs, numerous manual processes and
a high safety risk for workers. A new robot-supported
solution compensates all these negative
factors associated with working on an
oil drilling platform. An independently working
drilling platform system for use on land or offshore
has been developed. The innovative robot
acts completely independently – chooses
suitable drilling elements, moves them to the
perfect position and uses them. The robot lifts very precise and lifts weights up to 1.500kg. Here, several
RBR systems with e-chains® are used in the
robot’s joints; these are responsible for the
supply of power and data as well as media. The technical development, which was extremely
complex due to the limited design space
available, was taken over by the igus® Project
Engineering Team.
