Solutions to maximize reach and efficiency
While Schaeffler already offers range extenders as a fully customized seventh axis for lightweight robots and cobots, a corresponding solution for industrial robots has previously been unavailable. In practice, designs of these linear axes are predominantly customized. With this in mind, Schaeffler is offering a modular system composed of all the necessary drive components, such as linear guidance systems in the form of linear recirculating ball or linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies with extensive accessories, the optional addition of Schaeffler DuraSense for the purposes of condition monitoring, or automatic, requirement-based minimal lubrication. The range for the seventh axis is complemented by components and systems from the Lifetime Solutions range, including automatic lubricators from the Concept series, suitable lubrication gears for reliable lubrication of the toothed rack, and the new intelligent lubricator OPTIME C1.
