Rollon Seventh Axis motorised linear stage for robot applications

To extend the reach and versatility of modern robots, a motorised linear stage is often needed. Rollon Italy has now developed a standardised Seventh Axis system from its extensive linear product range.

Mounts are available for height-adjustable floor-, wall- and ceiling-mount applications. Larger sizes can be fitted with a walk-over plate. Energy chains come with all sizes.

Available in strokes of up to 46 m and with a total load capacity up to 2000 kg, the range features precision aluminium extrusions, rack and pinion drives, as well as mounting pads to suit common robots such as FANUC, MITSUBISHI, ABB, KUKA and NACHI. Units are supplied servo motor-ready to suit a wide range of manufacturers.

Designed around speeds of up to 4 m/s, acceleration up to 4 m/s/s and repeatability of ±0.05 mm, the products are suitable for robot OEMs and end users alike. The range can also be factory customised as needed.
