More flexability with a 7th axis for robots
The 7th axis from igus can be used individually and flexibly. In this application example, it is simulated how a collaborating robot picks up a package and places it on an assembly line for the next step. Due to the 7th axis, the robot has up to 4 times more working space than before and becomes much more flexible in the applications. The robot is tethered by a linear slide of the ZLW-20200 toothed belt axis, allowing it to move back and forth to pick up and place new packages. The axis impresses with a maximum speed of 0.3 m/s and offers a repeatability of +- 0.3 mm.
