MovoTrak CTU Collaborative 7th Axis

The first ever collaborative extension of cobots, the MovoTrak 7th axis features collision detection settings for groundbreaking programming and control benefits. A plug-and-play system for quick and easy implementation into various robotic functions, MovoTrak adds a horizontal operating range up to 10 m to significantly boost productivity and output. Compatible with even the largest sized cobots on the market, including Universal Robots’ UR20, the 7th axis offers flexible mounting options, and features a dual-linear-unit design for maximum moment load and stiffness.

Overview

MovoTrak Feature Highlights:

  • Collision detection settings provide users with enhanced capabilities, including:
    • User-adjustable collision detection on the MovoTrak performs similar to robotic joints.
    • Set the sensitivity during installation per your application's requirements.
    • Large surface areas on the MovoTrak linear carriage act as paddles, allowing for a safeguard stop when contacted.
    • All collision monitoring is conducted on the MovoTrak motor drive and/or digital I/O with minimal processing required from the UR controller.
    • Safety I/O connections for all stopping scenarios are supplied by the cobot and third-party safeguard devices.
  • Freedrive programming mode allows hand-driven movements to set linear waypoints directly on the UR Teach Pendant.
  • A dual-linear-unit design helps deliver maximum moment load and stiffness, even when the cobot arm is fully extended.
  • MovoTrak 7th axis can be mounted with any UR robot, including the UR20, in all directions (horizontally, wall-mounted, inverted, etc.).
  • End-of-stroke limit switches and cable management are included.
  • Mounting feet are provided to mount the 7th axis to industry-standard metric or inch extrusions.

MovoTrak Applications:

  • Machine tending
  • Material handling (bin picking, palletizing and packaging)
  • Large-scale welding, soldering, sanding and dispensing
