igus®
igus 7th axis linear motion system for UR3, UR5, UR10, and UR16 cobots. Extends working envelope up to 4x with strokes to 3000 mm at 0.3 m/s. Handles 500 N radial and 250 N axial loads. Integrates via URCap for direct kinematic control. Ideal for machine tending, material handling, and assembly.
The igus 7th axis linear motion axis is a cobot accessory engineered for extending the reach and productivity of Universal Robots UR3, UR5, UR10, and UR16 collaborative robots in industrial automation.
The igus 7th axis linear motion system integrates with UR cobots through URCap software, enabling direct kinematics and positional control from the Universal Robots programming environment. The igus 7th axis is recognized for durable, tested performance in industrial environments where reliability is critical.
By adding a linear axis to your Universal Robots UR3-UR16, the igus 7th axis system expands the working area by up to four times. This provides increased flexibility for machine tending, material handling, and assembly, maximizing ROI by reducing cycle time without upgrading to a larger robot or multiple cells. Longer strokes are available on request to further extend reach.
Designed specifically for UR robot accessory integration, the igus 7th axis linear motion axis supports UR3, UR5, UR10, and UR16 models. Mounts easily via cobot-standard interfaces, and is compatible with UR+ software tools. Note: inverse kinematics is managed through the URCap interface; energy chain not included.
Compared to alternative cobot linear axes, igus delivers proven accuracy, robust load handling, and seamless UR integration. High-speed operation and extended linear travel make it a top choice for expanding Universal Robots capabilities.
The igus 7th axis adds dedicated linear motion to UR3-UR16 cobots, extending working area up to four times without replacing the robot or adding separate cells. Choose this when you need to stretch reach across a longer line or workstation rather than investing in a larger robot platform.
