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

The igus 7th Axis Linear Motion System is compatible with EPSON T3, T6, and VT6 robots and mounts directly to these models via native EPSON software. Control is managed through your existing EPSON robot software without the need for separate inverse kinematics.

What reach can I get with the igus 7th Axis for EPSON VT6?

The 3000 mm stroke length expands your robot workspace by up to 4x compared to the stationary base reach, enabling operations across much larger work areas. Custom stroke lengths are available on request if you need a different travel distance.

How fast does the igus 7th Axis travel?

The system travels at speeds up to 0.3 m/s and maintains repeatable positioning within ±0.3 mm, making it suitable for precise pick-and-place, palletising, and machine tending applications.

Does the igus 7th Axis come with a controller?

The controller is sold separately, so you will need to purchase it as an additional component to operate the linear motion system. The system integrates with your EPSON robot controller via native software.

What applications can I use the igus 7th Axis for?

The igus 7th Axis enables palletising, machine tending, and pick-and-place operations requiring expanded linear travel without an energy chain. It works across any automation task where your robot needs to access a larger workspace along a single axis.

When to choose a linear axis extender versus stationary robot placement:

The igus 7th Axis expands an EPSON VT6 robot's reach up to 4x, letting a single arm cover long production lines or pallets without repositioning the base. Choose this when your workspace is too large for a fixed mount but you want precision and speed in one cell.

For palletising or machine tending across 3000 mm, the linear travel lets one robot cover what would need a larger arm or multiple stations.
On high-throughput pick-and-place lines, the 0.3 m/s travel and ±0.3 mm repeatability maintain cycle time and part accuracy together.
In tight manufacturing cells where floor space is limited, a 7th axis replaces the need for a longer-reach robot model or a second unit.
Custom stroke lengths let you match exact line layouts without over-purchasing travel distance.
