linREX: Modular Range Extenders for Cobots and Industrial Robots

With one, two or three axes: our linear robots simply adapt to your needs. For this purpose, we also turn our range extenders upside down and even think around the corner.

The modular linREX range extender expands the working range of cobots and industrial robots, enabling flexible automation solutions for machine tending, palletizing, welding and many other manufacturing applications.

SIMPLE, FLEXIBLE AND PRECISE

linREX makes it possible for almost every cobot and industrial robot to extend its working range by up to 80 metres without compromising precision or ease of use. Every linREX range extender is just as easy and quick to operate as the robot itself. Whether your 7th axis is mounted on the floor, wall or ceiling, linREX adapts perfectly to your application.

With our MotionCentre software, every linREX range extender can be commissioned within minutes. In addition, many cobots and industrial robots can be taught and programmed directly via their native control interface.

Among other platforms, linREX is fully integrated with Universal Robots and Doosan Robotics, making the complete automation system even easier to operate.

The modular linREX range extender extends the working range of cobots and industrial robots, providing flexible automation solutions with high precision, fast integration and reliable performance for a wide variety of manufacturing applications.

RE3

HEAVY-DUTY RANGE EXTENDER FOR LARGE ROBOTS

Payload up to 500 kg • Profile width 330 mm • Ideal for large cobots and industrial robots

The linREX RE3 features a 330 mm profile width, making it ideal for large cobots, such as the UR20, the Doosan H-Series, and industrial robots with payloads of up to 500 kg. If the linREX is longer than the robot cable, the controller and additional application components can be mounted directly on the carriage and transported along the axis. This reduces cable management effort and enables clean, reliable integration even in large automation systems.

RE2

VERSATILE RANGE EXTENDER FOR COBOTS AND INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS

Payload up to 250 kg • Profile width 200 mm • Flexible integration with additional peripherals

The linREX RE2 features a 200 mm profile width, making it our standard range extender for cobots and small industrial robots with payloads of up to 250 kg. Additional T-slots allow external peripherals, sensors or energy chains to be integrated quickly and easily. This provides maximum flexibility for a wide range of automation applications while keeping installation and future expansions simple.

The linREX Advantage

EASE-OF-USE

Every linREX can be programmed using any common web browser or fully integrated apps, such as the URCap. With its intuitive user interface, commissioning and programming are fast, simple and require no specialized programming knowledge.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

linREX integrates seamlessly into your application as an intelligent range extender for cobots and industrial robots. Thanks to common industrial interfaces, it can be easily integrated with virtually any robot or cobot brand. This minimizes engineering effort and enables fast, reliable commissioning.

SAFETY INTEGRATED

Thanks to the plug-and-play integration of safety sensor technology, implementing safe human-robot collaboration is easier than ever. This enables safe collaboration between humans and robots while reducing engineering and commissioning effort.

INFINITY RANGE

Achieve travel distances of up to 80 metres without compromising accuracy. Every axis can be configured individually to match your application's requirements.

READY-TO-GO

Every linREX is delivered ready-to-work within just a few weeks. Installation and commissioning can typically be completed within a few hours, minimizing downtime and enabling fast production start-up.

DIGITAL SERVICES

For every application, a proof of concept is carried out in advance using a digital twin. With our FEM calculations, we accurately predict the behavior of the entire system, optimize performance and minimize risks before commissioning.

Application Areas

linrob Portalroboter für automatisierte Schweißanwendungen mit kartesischem 3-Achs-Linearsystem.

WELDING

Medium and large components can be handled just as easily as with conventional cobot welding. Thanks to the extended working range of linREX, large workpieces can be welded efficiently and precisely while maintaining maximum flexibility.

PALLETISING

Different products can be loaded directly onto different pallets. Thanks to the extendable horizontal axis of linREX, several pallet positions can be reached with a single robot, increasing throughput while reducing cycle times.

MACHINE LOADING

The ability of a single cobot to load and operate multiple machines significantly increases machine utilization. Thanks to the extended working range of linREX, one robot can efficiently serve several machines, reducing cycle times and maximizing productivity.

WAREHOUSE

The linREX linear axes make it possible to transport products over long distances. This means that multiple workstations can be connected efficiently, reducing manual handling while increasing productivity and process reliability.
