What EPSON Scara robot models work with the igus 7th Axis Linear Motion?

The igus 7th Axis Linear Motion is compatible with EPSON Scara T3, T6, and VT6 models and mounts to these robots via standardized interfaces. Integration with EPSON robot kinematics software enables full synchronized 7th axis movement.

How much workspace does the igus 7th Axis add to an EPSON Scara robot?

The igus 7th Axis extends workspace up to four times for EPSON Scara robots with a 3,000 mm stroke length. This expanded reach enables pick-and-place, machine tending, and palletising across extended workstations.

What is the repeatability and speed of the igus 7th Axis?

The igus 7th Axis achieves ±0.3 mm repeatability and operates at 0.3 m/s, delivering precision suitable for automotive, electronics, and packaging automation tasks.

Does the igus 7th Axis include a controller and energy chain?

Full control is included with the igus 7th Axis, but energy chain components must be sourced separately based on your cable load and application requirements as outlined in the installation documentation.

Can I get a custom stroke length for the igus 7th Axis?

Custom stroke lengths are available on request to accommodate project-specific installations beyond the standard 3,000 mm option.

igus 7th Axis Linear Motion for EPSON Scara robots enables EPSON Scara robot 7th axis expansion to achieve automated pick and place across extended workstations in automotive, electronics, and packaging applications.

Specifications:

Stroke length: 3,000 mm
Repeatability: ±0.3 mm
Operating speed: 0.3 m/s
Controller included (energy chain components not included)

Custom stroke lengths are available on request, accommodating project-specific requirements for EPSON Scara robot 7th axis installations.

Compatibility:

EPSON Scara robot 7th axis motion available for T3, T6, and VT6 models
Mounts to EPSON Scara robots with standardized interfaces
Works with EPSON robot kinematics software for full synchronized movement

To compare with other linear motion solutions, igus 7th Axis units provide higher workspace extension for EPSON Scara robots than static mounting solutions, supporting flexible automation at scale. Unlike some competitor linear tracks, igus systems are easily integrated with EPSON kinematics for software-driven control and offer repeatability suitable for precise industrial tasks.

Features:

Increases EPSON Scara 7th axis workspace up to four times
Software-based motion control, requires integration via EPSON’s inverse kinematics (not embedded)
Energy chain selection depends on cable load and application; see installation documentation for guidance
Supports extended reach for pick-and-place, machine tending, palletising, and assembly lines

Buyers of the 7th axis system for EPSON Scara robots should source e-chain components separately and check installation documentation. Please see the installation guide for setup steps, cable management solutions, and video tutorials.

FAQ:

How is inverse kinematics handled? Control of EPSON Scara robot 7th axis movement uses EPSON robot software; configuration is required.
Which e-chain is needed? Selection depends on cable quantity and diameter; reference installation documentation for guidance.
What repeatability is achievable? The igus 7th axis for EPSON Scara robots achieves ±0.3 mm repeatability, suitable for many industrial automation needs.

Linear rail extension versus fixed robot mounting:

This igus 7th axis adds synchronized linear travel to EPSON Scara robots, multiplying workspace reach where fixed mounting cannot. Choose it when your pick-and-place, machine tending, or assembly workflow spans a long workstation and your robot's standard reach falls short.

For workstations longer than a robot's arm reach, the 3,000 mm stroke extends coverage up to four times, eliminating the need for multiple fixed cells.
On high-precision tasks, the ±0.3 mm repeatability supports tight tolerances in automotive and electronics assembly without manual repositioning.
For integrated software control, EPSON's inverse kinematics handles 7th axis motion automatically, avoiding external motion controllers and custom programming.
On automotive or packaging lines requiring synchronized multi-axis work, 0.3 m/s travel speed keeps cycle times competitive while maintaining accuracy.
