External rotary axis

The igus robolink D external rotary axis (RL-D-50-A0210) is an electromechanical positioning device that provides circular workpiece movement at a rated speed of 6 rotations per minute.

Driven by a stepper motor through a 48:1 gearbox, the unit delivers 15 Nm of rated torque and can handle peak loads up to 50 Nm.

This rotary axis functions as a slewing ring or indexing table, enabling continuous workpiece transport to multiple stations within a single work sequence.

By expanding the operational radius of robotic systems, the device increases application flexibility for tasks requiring rotational positioning.

The external mounting configuration allows integration with existing automation cells where circular motion is needed for part presentation, assembly operations, or multi-sided machining setups.
