500kg Payload Custom Length Heavy Duty Linear Track for CNC Loading Palletizing

500kg Payload Custom Length Heavy Duty Linear Track for CNC Loading Palletizing

Key Specifications

Overview & Engineering Architecture

This 500kg heavy duty linear track is a synchronized robot linkage that carries a six-axis arm along a customized length of rail for CNC loading, palletizing and picking. Running at 100-1000mm/s with 1000mm/s2 acceleration and +/-0.05mm repeat positioning, it keeps part transfer precise and repeatable even when the arm travels between distant stations. The stroke is built to the requested length so it fits the cell rather than the other way around.

A machined steel body with a 1:10 reduction drive provides the stiffness and torque needed for heavy duty motion, while a three phase 380V supply powers the axis. As an external robot axis the track is coordinated with the robot controller, so the arm and the rail move as one system. This makes the linear track a practical way to raise throughput on CNC loading and palletizing cells without adding a second robot.

The heavy duty linear track is planned around the CNC or palletizing cell it will serve. We confirm payload, robot model, required stroke and cycle time, then size the drive and reduction ratio so the track and arm move as one coordinated external axis. Because the rail uses standard guide, rack and drag-chain components, spares are easy to source and the modular body can be adapted as the line changes. Adjustable plates and clear origin referencing simplify commissioning, and the customized length means the track fits the cell rather than the other way around. Send us the cell drawing and target cycle time and we will propose a configuration.

Applications

• Automated loading and unloading of CNC machine tools
• Palletizing and depalletizing of cartons and cases
• Picking and placing of parts between stations
• Transfer of parts along a machining line
• Servicing multiple machines from a single rail

Advantages

• Customized length fits the exact cell footprint
• Synchronized linkage moves rail and robot as one axis
• 500kg payload for medium-heavy parts and grippers
• 100-1000mm/s speed with 1000mm/s2 acceleration
• +/-0.05mm repeatability for accurate CNC loading
• Raises throughput without a second robot

Frequently Asked Questions

What does synchronized linkage mean here?
The linear track is controlled as the robot's additional external axis, so the arm and track execute coordinated motion from one controller.

Can the length be customized?
Yes. The track is built to the requested stroke to match your CNC or palletizing cell.

What load can it carry?
The track is rated for a 500kg horizontal load including robot, gripper and workpiece.

Which machines can it serve?
CNC machine tools, palletizers and general transfer stations within a 2000mm robot arm reach.

What supply is required?
A three phase 380V 50Hz supply powers the external axis drive.
