The igus robolink DP 7th axis is a drylin ZLW-20 toothed belt linear axis that extends robot reach by adding a programmable linear travel dimension.
This wide, flat-profile axis mounts directly to compatible robolink DP robots and is controlled through the igus robot control software as a 7th axis function, though inverse kinematics are not integrated and must be managed at the software level.
The system is suitable for applications requiring expanded work envelopes in constrained floor spaces or for tasks that benefit from extended horizontal reach along a single axis.
Standard travel length is 3000 mm, with longer strokes available up to 6000 mm upon request.
The axis is driven by a NEMA23XL stepper motor with a 5:1 gear reduction and rated for a maximum radial load of 500 N and maximum axial load of 250 N.
The unit connects via the linear slide of the ZLW-20 modular axis and includes adapter kit preparation with appropriate E-ChainSystems cable management.
This configuration is compatible specifically with the robolink DP robot series.
