Will the igus 7th Axis work with my EPSON VT6 robot?

Yes, the igus 7th Axis Linear Motion System for EPSON VT6 is designed to integrate seamlessly with EPSON VT6 robots and also supports EPSON T3 and T6 models. Control is managed through the EPSON robot software kinematics, so no separate controller is needed.

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

The igus 7th Axis delivers a 2000 mm stroke that extends your EPSON VT6 reach by up to 4X, enabling complex multi-station operations without replacing your existing robot. This allows one robot to cover significantly more work area across your facility.

What speed does the igus 7th Axis Linear Motion System achieve?

The igus 7th Axis reaches a top speed of 0.3 m/s for fast cycle times across your extended workspace. This speed is combined with plus or minus 0.3 mm repeatability to maintain precision in multi-station automation.

Can I fit the igus 7th Axis in a space-constrained factory?

The igus 7th Axis Linear Motion System has a compact footprint designed to integrate into space-constrained factory layouts without taking up excessive floor space. It extends your robot's reach without requiring replacement of existing equipment.

What precision can I expect from the igus 7th Axis?

The igus 7th Axis delivers plus or minus 0.3 mm repeatability, supporting precision movement across extended work areas for applications like pick-and-place, machine tending, and pharmaceutical packaging that demand accurate positioning.

Extending robot reach vs. buying a new robot:

The igus 7th Axis Linear Motion System adds up to 4X workspace coverage to your existing EPSON VT6 without equipment replacement, making it the economical choice for multi-station automation in confined spaces.

For automotive assembly or pharmaceutical lines needing to reach multiple work stations from one mount point, the 2000 mm stroke eliminates the need for a second robot or manual repositioning.
On high-throughput pick-and-place tasks, 0.3 m/s top speed and ±0.3 mm repeatability maintain fast cycle times while keeping precision across the extended work area.
In tight factory layouts where floor space is scarce, the compact footprint integrates into crowded cells without costly reconfiguration.
Control integrates directly into EPSON robot software kinematics, so no separate motion controller is required.
