Thanks to the external rotary axis, circular workpiece movements are possible. These are also often called slewing rings, rotary indexing tables or rotary tables, and allow continuous transport to various stations in a single work step. The radius of robot action is extended, making robots much more flexible in their applications. The rotary axis is driven electromechanically by a stepper motor via a gearbox with 48:1 transmission. You get everything from a single source: energy chains suitable for the UR robots, connection cables and the seventh axis or the rotary axis.
With our plug&play solution, you can programme directly in the URCap controller and regulate the rotary axis. You are welcome to watch the detailed videos we have made on this topic.
You can calculate the service life of the rotary axes online to find out exactly how long they will function in your application and when you might have to exchange the bearings.
We use a lubrication-free worm gear from the RL-D series and installation size 50.
