With a 150kg (330 lbs) payload and large, scalable work space, the
system is designed to offer greater versatility and cost effectiveness
than customized linear handling systems. The linear axis can support up
to two robots, and can serve several stations or machines simultaneously
or in programmed coordination. The linear gantry acts as the first axis
of the robot, providing the same agility as a standard 6-axis robot.
The linear axis can range from 2.5m to 4m (8 to 13 ft) high and from
1.8m to 33m (6 to 108 ft) long, and saves floor space by elevating the
robot(s) over the work area. In machine tending applications, the system
can access machines either from the top or the side.ABB Roboticswww.abb.com/robotics248.391.8763
