Movotrak™ Cobot Transfer Unit

The first ever collaborative 7th axis, the Movotrak Cobot Transfer Unit (CTU) 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 CTU 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, the 7th axis slide offers flexible mounting options, and features a dual-linear-unit design for precise linear motion, and maximum moment load and stiffness.

Includes: Dual linear units, Kollmorgen servo motor, precision gearhead, carriage mounting plate for robot, Freedrive paddles, end-of-stroke limit switches, cable management, control box and software with 7th axis collision detection. For ABB GoFa robots, an add-in is available for interacting directly with the ABB Flex Pendant.

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 robot controller.
    • Safety I/O connections for all stopping scenarios are supplied by the cobot and third-party safeguard devices.
  • 7th axis Freedrive programming mode allows hand-driven movements to set linear waypoints.
  • 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 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.
