Rollon robot seventh-axis system

To extend the reach and versatility of modern robots, a motorised linear stage is often needed. Rollon Italy has developed a standardised seventh-axis system from its linear product range. Mounts are available for height-adjustable floor-, wall- and ceiling-mount applications. Larger sizes can be fitted with a walkover plate and energy chains are standard on all sizes.

Available in strokes up to 46 m and with a total load capacity up to 2000 kg, the range features precision aluminium extrusions, rack and pinion drives and mounting pads to suit common robots such as Fanuc, Mitsubishi, ABB, Kuka and NachiI. The systems are supplied servomotor-ready to suit a wide range of manufacturers.

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