This system pairs an igus ReBeL cobot with a drylin ZLW-20200 belt-driven linear seventh axis, creating a 7-DOF configuration that extends operational reach up to 5800 mm depending on setup.
The robot delivers 2 kg payload capacity, 1000 mm base reach, and 1 mm repeatability.
The linear axis features a maintenance-free design using tribologically optimized plastics that eliminate the need for additional lubrication.
The seventh axis integrates directly with igus Robot Control via CAN bus, allowing synchronized motion with the robot as an external axis.
The system supports Modbus TCP/IP, ROS, CANopen, and digital I/O protocols.
Free software is included with the system.
Common applications include pick and place operations, quality inspection across large components, machine tending, and handling tasks that span multiple stations or require extended reach beyond the standard robot workspace.
The configuration suits small and medium enterprises, manufacturing facilities, logistics operations, and laboratory automation environments.
The seventh axis can be installed in horizontal or overhead orientations.
