igus 7th axis as trade fair demonstrator

Flexible robot use thanks to the 7th axis

The video shows the application of a 7th axis for Universal Robots at the Metalex trade fair in Thailand. The 7th axis from igus extends the action radius of Universal Robots by up to 6000 mm, allowing them to be used for many different applications. The 7th axis is ideal for pick and place applications as shown in this video. The linear axis can be used for applications with precision requirements of 0.3 mm, with a load of up to 55 kg and a max. speed of up to 0.6 m/s. Since the axis is mainly made of our tribologically optimized plastics, a long service life and a high cost saving for the linear axis can be realized.
