Are you designing a large-scale automated cell or a long-reach production line? Our Robot’s Seventh Axis drawing is the critical blueprint you need to expand your automation capabilities. This professional CAD file details the complete engineering for a linear travel track. This system is the key to adding a 7th axis of motion to a standard 6-axis industrial robot, dramatically expanding its work envelope and overall ROI.
This “seventh axis,” also known as a robot slide or linear track, transforms a stationary robot into a dynamic, mobile asset. It’s the core solution for tasks like machine tending across multiple CNCs, welding long seams on a large frame, or palletizing goods over an extensive area. Building such a system requires extreme precision to ensure rigidity, minimize vibration, and provide smooth, reliable motion under heavy loads.
This downloadable drawing package is a complete, fabrication-ready guide for automation engineers, system integrators, and machine builders. It saves you critical design time by providing all the necessary details to construct a high-performance linear axis from the ground up.
Key Features:
- Heavy-Duty Structural Base: Includes detailed fabrication plans for the modular steel base frame, engineered to be precisely leveled and anchored for maximum stability.
- Precision Drive System: The design specifies a high-accuracy helical rack and pinion drive, complete with the mounting assembly for a servo-gearbox.
- Linear Motion Guides: Specifies the integration of high-load capacity profile linear guide rails and bearing blocks to ensure smooth, accurate, and low-friction travel.
- Robot Mounting Carriage: A detailed drawing of the moving carriage, engineered for stiffness and featuring a standard mounting pattern adaptable to most major robot brands.
- Integrated Cable Management: Includes the mounting design and layout for an e-chain (energy chain) to safely guide all robot cables and pneumatic lines.
