Self-contained one-axis linear slide adds a seventh or eighth axis when used with another robot. It can be floor or ceiling mounted and comes equipped with a mounting face on the carriage for the attachment to a robot. It is driven by a brushless ac servomotor with rack-and-pinion gearing. Range of movement is managed by programmable software limit switches with mechanical stops if these limit switches are overrun.

Range of movement is managed by programmable software limit switches with mechanical stops if these limit switches are overrun. The slide is offered in three sizes to accommodate robot models with varying payload capacities: the KL 250/2 is designed for robots with 6- to 16-kg payload capacities, the KL 100 for 30- to 60-kg payloads, and the KL 1500/2 for 100- to 500 kg payloads.
