How do I integrate the seventh axis with the main robot arm?

The seventh axis integrates through igus Robot Control with direct CAN bus synchronization, allowing the drylin ZLW-20200 linear axis to work as an external axis coordinated with the 6-DOF arm. The system supports Modbus TCP/IP, ROS, CANopen, and digital I/Os for flexible integration, with free configuration software included and no licensing fees.

Does the REBEL-6DOF-7TH-1500 require maintenance?

The drylin linear axis runs maintenance-free and lubrication-free using tribologically optimized plastics, making it suited for continuous industrial duty without regular servicing. No oil or grease maintenance is required on the seventh axis components.

What is the maximum reach and speed of this cobot?

The cobot arm has a 1,500 mm reach and moves at up to 0.3 m/s, while the seventh axis can extend the total system reach to 5,800 mm depending on the stroke selected. The seventh axis supports up to a 3,000 mm stroke for extended workspace coverage.

Can this cobot handle pick and place tasks in logistics?

Yes, the REBEL-6DOF-7TH-1500 is designed for automated pick and place in logistics and production environments, as well as quality inspection, machine tending, and multi-station work. Its 2 kg payload and ±1.5 mm repeatability suit it for precise, repetitive handling tasks.

Seven-axis collaborative robot combining igus ReBeL cobot with drylin ZLW-20200 linear axis. Reaches 1,500 mm with 2 kg payload and 1.5 mm repeatability. Seventh axis mounts overhead or horizontally with up to 3,000 mm stroke, extending total reach to 5,800 mm. Integrated via CAN bus, supports Modbus TCP/IP, ROS, and CANopen. Maintenance-free tribologically optimized plastic components. Ideal for pick and place, quality inspection, machine tending, and multi-station handling in manufacturing, logistics, and lab automation.

The igus ReBeL Cobot with seventh axis, model REBEL-6DOF-7TH-1500, is a 7-degree-of-freedom collaborative robot designed for automated pick and place, quality inspection, machine tending, and handling large parts or reaching multiple workstations in industrial, logistics, or laboratory automation environments.

Key Features:

Maximum reach: 1,500 mm (with up to 5,800 mm total system reach depending on axis stroke)
Payload: 2 kg
Repeatability: 1.5 mm
Speed: up to 0.3 m/s

Design and Integration:

The system integrates an igus ReBeL cobot with a drylin ZLW-20200 belt-driven linear axis. The seventh axis may be mounted overhead or horizontally, supporting up to a 3,000 mm stroke. igus Robot Control, featuring direct CAN bus integration, synchronizes the seventh axis as an external axis, with protocol support for Modbus TCP/IP, ROS, CANopen, and digital I/O. Free configuration software is included.

Durability and Maintenance:

The drylin axis employs tribologically optimized plastics for lubrication-free, long-life, maintenance-free operation, making the REBEL-6DOF-7TH-1500 suited for continuous industrial use in small and medium-sized manufacturing and flexible workcells.

Applications:

Automated pick and place in logistics and production
Quality inspection systems
Machine tending
Handling across multiple stations or large part transfer

Why Choose REBEL-6DOF-7TH-1500 Over Alternative 7-DOF Cobots:

The igus REBEL-6DOF-7TH-1500 is distinguished by a reach of 1,500 mm, long-travel seventh axis for extended workspace, and maintenance-free, lubricant-free components. Integration with igus Robot Control and broad fieldbus protocol compatibility support flexible automation needs. These features provide broad workspace coverage and highly flexible deployment for collaborative applications.

Cobot with seventh axis vs. standard 6-DOF cobot:

Choose the igus ReBeL with seventh axis when your task requires extended workspace, precise multi-station handling, or continuous linear motion alongside arm articulation. The added linear axis expands total reach to 5,800 mm and eliminates repositioning of the whole robot between distant workpoints.

For pick and place across multiple stations spaced more than 1,500 mm apart, the linear seventh axis reaches all positions without moving the robot base.
For quality inspection of large parts or assembly lines, the ±1 mm repeatability and extended workspace enable precise scanning and measurement across an entire station footprint.
For machine tending with continuous duty cycles, the maintenance-free drylin axis requires no lubrication and runs reliably in high-cycle environments without downtime for servicing.
For small payload work under 2 kg in confined spaces, the 1,500 mm arm reach with coordinated seventh-axis motion delivers responsive automation without hydraulic or pneumatic infrastructure.
