expansionKIT - 7th axis for robots

With the expansionKIT from IEF-Werner, you can easily and efficiently expand UR robots to include servo-electric linear axes and rotary tables for your application. Direct integration into PolyScope via the URCap enables intuitive control without the need for additional software.

Benefits at a glance:

• Control via URCap for PolyScope
• Compatible with all UR robot models
• Strokes up to 6,000 mm with standard axes (Longer strokes available on request)
• Speeds up to 1.5 m/s
• Minimal wiring effort thanks to single-cable technology
• No additional space required due to integration into the UR control cabinet

A 7th axis expands your robot’s working range: but which solution is right for your application?
What payload needs to be moved over what distance? And what forces are at play during the process?

At IEF-Werner, you don’t need to worry about any of that. Our experts analyse your application in detail, work with you to define the requirements, and select the most suitable axis for your robot or cobot.

We take a broader view:
In some cases, it may be more efficient to dispense with the traditional ‘robot on the 7th axis’ configuration and instead use the additional, external axis either upstream or downstream to feed parts into position – without the entire robot having to move from A to B. The entire system is conveniently controlled via the expansionKIT in PolyScope – without the need for an additional control cabinet.

This gives you maximum flexibility in handling, easy adaptability to process changes and modular expandability to include further components. And last but not least, you also benefit financially from an optimally designed solution.
