Onrobot Lift100 Alternatives & Competitors

The KUKA linear unit KL 100 is a self-contained, one-axis linear unit mounted on the floor, ceiling or wall. It is operated as the external axis of a robot and is thus controlled by the corresponding robot controller.

Key features of linear unit KL 100:

• For KR AGILUS series robots
  • Suitable for all KR AGILUS series robots
• Up to 4 robots on one linear axis, mounted in different basic robot positions
  • Robots can be installed in up to 8 different basic positions and make use of an additional tender carriage for application-specific equipment.
• Mirrored design
  • Use of mirrored motion programs.
• FEM-optimized
  • High torsional stiffness on the basis of FEM analysis, also enabling use in high-accuracy continuous-path applications.
• Integrated control
  • Control of the linear unit is integrated as a mathematically coupled axis in the robot controller, dispensing with the need for an additional controller.
• Internally installed energy supply chain for floor-mounted version
  • The energy supply chain can be installed internally in a highly compact manner up to a rated travel of 5500 mm.

KUKA linear units are translational motion units. The linear units can be used to extend a robot’s work envelope or alternatively to move workpieces or tools within the work envelopes of a number of robots. Therefore allowing applications such as the tending of more than one machine or fixture, order picking from rows of pallets, or work on very large components. Control of the linear unit is integrated as a mathematically coupled axis in the robot controller, dispensing with the need for an additional controller.

The ai-lift from Baumeister & Schack allows you to expand the working environment of your cobot by offering it an additional axis. Strokes from 500 mm to 1,000 mm are possible and can be designed according to customer requirements. The integrated Modbus TCP / IP interface enables easy communication with higher-level control systems.
