This igus seventh axis linear extension expands the working envelope of EPSON SCARA robots by up to four times the base reach.
The system provides linear travel with stroke lengths up to 3000 mm, with this configuration offering a 1000 mm stroke.
Positional repeatability is ±0.3 mm, and the axis operates at speeds up to 0.3 m/s.
The seventh axis is compatible with EPSON T3, T6, and VT6 SCARA models.
Kinematics are controlled through Epson software, with control handled via software without integrated inverse kinematics.
This configuration includes the controller but does not include an e-chain.
Custom stroke lengths beyond the standard range are available upon request.
Typical applications include tending multiple machines, servicing extended conveyor lines, and expanding material handling reach without relocating the robot base.
Automation integrators and machine shop operators can use this axis to increase robot utilization across larger work cells.
