Product information
Optionally available
Our 7th
axis can be used individually and flexibly. It extends the action radius of
common lightweight robots by up to 6000 mm (according to technical design),
making them much more flexible in their applications. The drylin® toothed belt
axis ZLW-20200 is ideally suited as a wide flat linear axis. An adapter kit is
available for this axis for direct connection with common lightweight robots
via digital I/Os. Optionally, the ZLW-20200 toothed belt axis can be supplied
ready for connection with the matching adapter kit or the adapter kit can be
supplied separately. The linear axis can be used for applications with
precision requirements of 0.3 mm at a load of up to 55 kg. This type of
accessory has a max. speed of up to 0,3 m/s. The appropriate robot software can
be controlled via digital I/Os. Optionally, the axis can be ordered with or
without a controller. To control the axis, the 7th axis | UR Cap + control
cabinet integration - IO Version is required. Our 7th axis is largely made
of our tribologically optimised plastics and enables high cost savings. At the
same time, a long service life and freedom from maintenance are realised.
Application
examples
Typical applications of our 7th axes are pick and place applications, welding
applications and many more.
7th axis control for easy entry into automation
The IO unit enables simple and intuitive robot control and programming and thus
an easy entry into automation. The direct control cabinet integration via
digital I/Os enables an easy and ready-to-connect solution. This means that the
7th axis can be moved within a very short time. The solution is currently
possible with the following robot manufacturers: igus ReBeL. A master
controller is not necessary.
If you want to use your own (robot) controller, that is also no problem.
Alternatively, it is also possible to operate each axis individually with a
controller. For example with our igus® dryve D1 motor controller. With this
control architecture, you need one motor control per linear axis or motor and
an additional master control, which controls the coordination of the movement.
The motor controls are not part of the article and can be obtained from us as
an option. A master control is currently not offered by igus.
