7th axis for ReBeL (igus Robot Control Version)

Our 7th axis can be used individually and flexibly. It extends the operating radius of common lightweight robots by up to 6000 mm (according to technical design) and this makes them significantly more flexible in their applications. The drylin® toothed belt axis ZLW-20200 is ideal as a wide, flat linear axis. An adapter kit is available for this axis for direct connection to common lightweight robots via digital I/Os. The ZLW-20200 toothed belt axis can be delivered ready for connection with the appropriate adapter kit or the adapter kit can be delivered separately. The linear axis can be used for applications with a precision requirement of 0.3 mm and a load of up to 55 kg. This type of accessory has a max. speed of up to 0.3 m/s. For the appropriate control with the ReBeL, the 7th axis control is already included in this set. Our 7th axis consists largely of our tribologically optimized plastics and enables high cost savings. At the same time, a long service life and freedom from maintenance are achieved.

• Flexible use of robots instead of rigid kinematics
• Connection via linear slide of the ZLW-20200 toothed belt axis
• Standard lifting paths up to 3000 mm, upon request up to 6,000 mm
• Adapter for e-chain system®
• Alternatively, the ZLW-20200 toothed belt axis can be delivered ready for connection with the appropriate adapter kit.
• Control via the iRC as 7th axis (no inverse kinematics)
• Robot kinematics: igus® ReBeL
