What is the reach of the igus ReBeL Cobot with Seventh Axis?

The arm alone reaches 2000 mm, but with the integrated drylin ZLW-20200 linear seventh axis, the total system reach extends up to 5800 mm. The linear axis supports stroke lengths up to 3000 mm and can be mounted horizontally or overhead for flexible workspace configuration.

What payload can this cobot handle?

The igus ReBeL Cobot with Seventh Axis has a 2 kg payload capacity. This makes it suitable for pick and place, inspection, machine tending, and handling of smaller parts across multiple stations.

How accurate is the igus ReBeL Cobot?

The system delivers plus or minus 1 mm repeatability, ensuring consistent precision for assembly, inspection, and machine tending tasks.

What protocols does the igus ReBeL Cobot support?

The igus ReBeL Cobot with Seventh Axis supports Modbus TCP/IP, ROS, CANopen, and digital I/O protocols for integration into industrial automation networks. The included igus Robot Control software features direct CAN bus integration to coordinate both the arm and linear axis.

What maintenance does the seventh axis require?

The drylin ZLW-20200 linear axis uses lubrication-free plastic bearings with a belt drive design, significantly reducing maintenance downtime compared to traditional bearing systems. This design is optimized for extended travel and repeated cycles in demanding industrial environments.

What software comes with the igus ReBeL Cobot?

The igus Robot Control software is included at no additional cost with no licensing fees. It enables coordinated control of the robot arm and seventh axis as a unified system with open protocol support.

7-DOF collaborative robot pairing an igus ReBeL Cobot with a drylin ZLW-20200 linear axis for 2 kg payload, 5800 mm system reach, and synchronized pick-and-place and machine-tending tasks. No lubrication required; ROS and Modbus TCP/IP compatible.

igus ReBeL Cobot with Seventh Axis, 7 DOF, 2kg Payload:

The igus ReBeL Cobot with Seventh Axis is a 7-DOF collaborative robot system for industrial automation, engineering teams, and manufacturers needing extended reach and flexibility.

Payload: 2 kg
Maximum arm reach: 2000 mm
System reach (with linear axis): up to 5800 mm
Repeatability: 1.5 mm

Key Features of the igus ReBeL Cobot with Seventh Axis:

Combines an igus ReBeL collaborative robot and drylin ZLW-20200 belt-driven linear axis for full 7 degrees of freedom (DOF).
Unlike standard 6-DOF cobots, a synchronized seventh axis expands workspace and enables advanced coordinated movement for handling large parts and servicing multiple stations.
Linear axis allows up to 3000 mm stroke lengths, mounted horizontally or overhead for maximum configuration flexibility.
The system includes igus Robot Control software with direct CAN bus integration for seamless control of both robot and linear axis as a unified cobot robot solution.
Supports Modbus TCP/IP, ROS, CANopen, and digital I/O protocols for integration into industrial automation networks.

Applications Supported:

Pick and place
Machine tending tasks
Quality inspection
Handling of large or distributed parts
Operations in small and medium-sized manufacturing, logistics, and laboratory automation

System Design and Maintenance Benefits:

The drylin ZLW-20200 linear axis utilizes tribologically optimized plastic bearings that operate without lubrication, minimizing maintenance requirements compared to traditional bearing systems. The belt drive design is ideal for extended travel and repeated cycles in demanding industrial environments.

Controller and Integration:

igus Robot Control software (included) enables coordinated, simultaneous control of the arm and seventh axis with open protocol support.

Why Choose the igus ReBeL Cobot with Seventh Axis?

Industrial cobot users benefit from 7-DOF movement versus typical 6-DOF designs, supporting flexible automation layouts and longer travel.
Cost-effective for multi-station automation and applications requiring workspace expansion without multiple robots.

Seven-axis cobot vs standard six-axis models:

The igus ReBeL Cobot with Seventh Axis adds a synchronized linear rail to a collaborative robot arm, extending workspace to 5800 mm and enabling coordinated multi-station work without deploying separate machines. Choose this setup when a single 6-DOF arm cannot reach all work zones or when parts are too large or distributed for one fixed station.

For machine tending across multiple workstations spaced 3000 mm or more apart, the linear axis moves the entire arm assembly, cutting cycle time versus manual repositioning or multiple robots.
On high-throughput pick-and-place lines where parts must travel between stations, synchronized 7-DOF motion eliminates intermediate manual transfers and reduces labor.
For inspection of large assemblies or distributed point sampling, the extended reach and linear travel allow one cobot to cover areas normally requiring multiple fixed installations or manual inspection.
In tight factory layouts, the belt-driven linear axis mounts horizontally or overhead, freeing floor space while keeping the 2 kg payload arm flexible for light assembly and handling tasks.
Lubrication-free plastic bearings on the seventh axis reduce scheduled maintenance downtime compared to traditional ball-bearing rail systems in continuous-cycle environments.
