Applications Industry 4.0 has driven a modernization of operations across different industries. Process automation is a key enabler to reach operational excellence with interconnected machineries. Collaborative robots (cobots) can greatly improve productivity in industrial environments with repetitive tasks. The radius of action is usually limited by their reach. Additional linear axes can significantly enhance the radius of action up to 5 times, by re-positioning the base of the robot during its working cycle. Ewellix offers a range of linear motion axes - vertical and horizontal - to...

Solutions for vertical axes Ewellix offers different telescopic pillar configurations to meet the demands of a range of cobot applications. These telescopic pillars are very robust and stable, with built in drive system for easy integration. • Telescopic design using two motors to achieve a high stroke with low retracted height • Fast speed up to 80 mm/s at 1500 N push load • Very quiet operation • Mechanical brake included • Different screw and motor options • Telescopic design using a double screw drive train to achieve a high stroke with low retracted height • Higher duty cycle and...
