This seventh-axis linear motion system extends the working envelope of EPSON VT6 robots, delivering stroke lengths up to 3000 mm with positioning repeatability of ±0.3 mm.
The system operates at speeds up to 0.3 m/s and can increase robot workspace by up to four times compared to the fixed-base configuration.
Custom stroke lengths are available upon request.
The unit integrates with EPSON robot kinematics through the manufacturer's software, enabling coordinated motion control.
Note that inverse kinematics are handled via software rather than being integrated into the axis controller itself.
This model is compatible with EPSON T3, T6, and VT6 series robots.
The 1500 mm unit ships without energy chain hardware.
Manufactured by igus, the system is designed for machine tending, material handling, and other applications where extended linear reach improves cycle efficiency or part accessibility.
