Seventh Axis for robots up to 130 Kg

Belt driven Seventh Axis is designed to extend the working area of smaller industrial robots, with weight around 10 - 130 Kg or payload around 2 - 16 Kg. It is the best choice to improve the robot’s productivity in applications such as small machine tool feeding, pick and place and assembly operations in different industrial sectors.

Seventh Axis is made of one or two self-supporting extruded aluminum profiles joined together by means of rigid connecting crosspieces. It is available in different sizes: 220-1 and 80-2. The aluminum profiles are resistant to corrosion, and are extruded to make highly elaborate geometries that guarantee an high moment of inertia and a low weight. Thanks to its lightness and high rigidity, Seventh Axis operates smoothly even in applications that require wall or ceiling mounting.

The thrust force is transmitted by a steel reinforced polyurethane belt. The carriage runs on two parallel linear guides with four self-lubricated recirculating ball bearing blocks, positioned to support the carriage and all incident loads and moments. The polyurethane belt eliminates the need to lubricate the driving system.

The main advantages of Seventh Axis are:

• Suitable for all the smaller industrial robots (eg. weight up to 130 Kg or payload up to 16 Kg)
• Two different sizes.
• High quality components and competitive performances.
• Easy and quick assembly.
• Customizations possible
