igus 7th Axis for EPSON SCARA Robots, 1000 mm Stroke

igus®

$9,100.00

Linear seventh axis for EPSON SCARA robots (T3, T6, VT6) with 1000 mm stroke, ±0.3 mm repeatability, and 0.3 m/s speed. Expands workspace up to four times base reach for multi-machine tending and extended material handling.

igus 7th Axis Linear Extension for EPSON SCARA Robots: Extended Reach Solution

The igus 7th Axis for EPSON SCARA robots is a linear extension designed to increase working envelope and flexibility for industrial automation, offering precision motion for machine tending and material handling applications.

Key Benefits:

  • Stroke length: 1000 mm linear travel
  • Repeatability: ±0.3 mm
  • Speed: Up to 0.3 m/s
  • Reach expansion: Extends SCARA robot coverage up to 4 times; for example, a base reach of 400 mm is expanded to 1600 mm

Compatibility and Integration:

Designed for EPSON T3, T6, and VT6 SCARA robots, the igus 7th Axis mounts directly for seamless integration in larger workcells. Control is managed through EPSON software, without integrated inverse kinematics, which means trajectory and positioning are handled by the robot and axis controller software rather than pre-programmed kinematics. This can require additional adjustment during setup but allows flexible routing and deployment.

  • Controller included with igus 7th Axis for EPSON SCARA robots
  • External e-chain options available; not included in base configuration. Explore e-chain solutions

For more information on compatible SCARA models, visit EPSON T3, EPSON T6, and EPSON VT6 product pages. See demo video and technical diagrams in our Asset Library.

Applications:

  • Machine tending across multiple stations
  • Conveyor line automation
  • Material handling with extended reach
  • Pick-and-place tasks requiring large workspace

Automation integrators and machine operators leverage the igus 7th Axis linear extension to maximize robot utilization without relocating robot bases, enabling coverage of larger work areas.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Why is inverse kinematics not integrated? The axis relies on EPSON software for movement control, allowing flexible programming but requiring manual trajectory setup.
  • What are the e-chain options? Various external e-chain configurations are available to suit cable management needs. See link above for details.
  • How does reach expansion work? The 7th axis provides up to four times the base robot reach by adding 1000 mm linear travel, ideal for covering extended operation zones.

The igus 7th Axis is designed for EPSON T3, T6, and VT6 SCARA robots and mounts directly to them for seamless integration. A controller is included with the axis for these compatible models.
The igus 7th Axis extends robot reach up to 4 times with its 1000 mm linear stroke. For example, a base reach of 400 mm expands to 1600 mm when the axis is added.
The axis handles a 20 kg payload across the extended work envelope and travels at 0.3 m/s for responsive machine tending. It holds repeatability of plus or minus 0.3 mm for precision material handling tasks.
E-chain cable management options are available separately and are not included in the base configuration of the igus 7th Axis.
A 7th axis adds linear motion to extend the robot's working envelope, enabling applications like machine tending across multiple stations, conveyor line automation, material handling over larger areas, and pick-and-place tasks that require extended workspace coverage.

Linear axis extension vs. relocating or adding a second robot:

The igus 7th Axis adds a 1000 mm linear stroke to EPSON SCARA robots, multiplying working envelope up to four times without moving the robot base or investing in a second unit. This is most valuable when workcells are space-constrained or when a single robot can service multiple stations with extended reach.

  • For machine tending across multiple stations or conveyor lines, the linear axis eliminates the need to reposition the robot or add a second arm, keeping integration simple and costs lower.
  • On pick-and-place tasks requiring workspace coverage beyond the robot's base reach, the 1000 mm stroke replaces larger floorspace layouts and reduces capital spend compared to a second robot or relocatable mounting.
  • For parts up to 20 kg and precision tolerance of ±0.3 mm, the axis holds repeatability through extended work envelope, making it suitable for delicate assembly or material handling where reach and accuracy matter equally.
  • On tight workcells where base relocation is impractical, the direct mount to EPSON T3, T6, or VT6 robots keeps setup seamless and saves integration time versus a standalone linear stage.
