Igus Previews Automate 2026 Booth
Igus to feature a new shopping system and palletizer cobot.
Published May 20, 2026
Igus will be exhibiting at booth 1410 at Automate 2026, showing off two of their newest products.
We’re a month out from Automate 2026, but the booth previews are already starting to roll in. Igus gave us a peek at what they’ll be showing off at the Chicago-based show, focusing on two products that will be taking center stage at their booth.
The first, the RBTX Machine Planner, is an online configuration tool Igus introduced in February. The tool is designed to make it easier to buy robotics components a la carte. Previously, purchasing through Igus required consultation with a company rep to ensure everything you bought was compatible and could achieve your goals.
The RBTX Machine Planner is an alternative marketed towards robotics experts that already know exactly what they want, giving them an option to purchase products more smoothly. The planner allows you to assemble a custom robot before hitting buy and provides up-to-date pricing, CAD data and CE documentation as you fiddle.
The other headliner will be the Fairino FR20 palletizer, a cobot designed for the packaging, logistics and machine loading sectors. The Fiarino FR20 can support payloads up to 44 pounds and stacking heights of approximately 7.8 feet when using an optional lifting column. The unit is designed to be user-friendly with several control options, including via touchscreen, mobile device, and web application. Igus highlighted the FR20’s mid-size versatility, which allows it to be scaled for different applications while remaining compact enough to be managed by a single person.
Igus invites Automate 2026 attendees to stop by Booth 1410 to take a test drive of the RBTX Machine Planner and meet with their experts to learn more about their products.
