drylin® ZLW seventh axis for EPSON robots as a plug-and-play solution

EPSON seventh axis

Expand your EPSON robot's working area

Flexible use of robots

The so-called seventh axis is a linear adjustment that extends the robot action radius.   The drylin® ZLW-20 toothed belt axis is ideally suited for use as a wide low-profile linear axis. Adapter kits for the direct connection of EPSON robots with software integration are available for this axis. The ZLW-20 toothed belt axis can be delivered ready for connection with the matching adapter kit. More strokes (up to 6000mm) are possible upon request, depending on the technical design.
  • Connection via linear carriage of the ZLW-20 modular axis
  • Compatible with the EPSON SCARA T3, EPSON SCARA T6, and EPSON ProSix VT6-901S (corresponding drill hole available)
  • Stroke lengths of up to 3000mm
  • Drive: stepper motor NEMA23XL with 5:1 gearbox
  • Adapter kit including preparation of suitable e-chain systems®
  • Possible integration into the EPSON programming interface

E2.1 Energy chain

Suitable energy chains for the 7th axis

  • e-chains safely carry energy, data, signals and air or liquids to your robot.
  • Ideal for high accelerations and short, fast strokes
  • Can be opened quickly to insert additional cables or to exchange cables
  • Many sizes and widths available
More about the E2.1 e-chain

Stabilisation suitable for corrugated hoses: SCARA cable solution

igus has developed the e-rib to safely guide cables guided by corrugated hose. In combination with the reinforcements at both ends and the sag of the corrugated hose as well as the rotary unions, this solution is ideally suited for high-speed SCARA applications.
