Expert-Tünkers - '8th axis' for robots:
The 7th axis from Expert-Tünkers can be extended by an '8th axis' using a turning station with integrated turntable and can thus be guided around the corner, extending the reach and mobility of robots. Thanks to the modular design, several axes with individual output angles and lengths of up to 30 m can be combined according to customer requirements. The base consists of a solid base frame with ground and hardened guide rails that move the carriage on top. The transfer to a second axis is just as smooth. Depending on the configuration, the system can pick up and transport standard robot systems, welding guns or other handling devices weighing up to 4 tons using an adapter plate. This is done with an acceleration of 1.5 to 3.8 m/s2 and a speed of 1.5 to 2.5 m/s.
The system can be connected to standard robot systems and their control systems. A specially developed energy chain ensures the energy supply along the entire route, even when turning stations are integrated.
