Enhancing System Flexibility and Throughput in Automation Architectures (EU)


Modern automation environments demand flexible, high-performance motion solutions. For machine builders and system integrators employing collaborative robots, adding a 7th axis has given them a scalable way to extend robot reach, increase throughput and unlock their applications’ potential.  

Solutions such as the Thomson Movotrak Cobot Transfer Unit (CTU; pictured) integrate seamlessly into leading robot and cobot platforms. A dual linear system design extends the horizontal operating range up to 10 m, while delivering high moment load capacity, robust reliability and a compact footprint – ideal for engineers optimizing layouts in industrial automation, material handling, assembly and machine tending.


Watch this 33-minute expert talk, and learn more about:

  • Application advantages of a 7th axis in industrial automation architectures
  • Sizing and integration of a CTU
  • Control and software integration
  • Linear systems considerations: rigidity, precision, and reliability
  • Customization options
