Rail Mounted Fanuc Six Axis Robot with 30 Meter Travel for Handling

Overview

• • This system mounts a Fanuc six axis robot on a travel rail for long distance component handling.
• • Travel covers up to 30 meters, which suits lines where stations are spread along a building.
• • A 1000 kg rail body keeps the carriage stable during pick and place cycles.
• • Electromechanical drive keeps travel speed and stop position repeatable.

Specifications

Advantages

• • One rail mounted robot covers stations that would otherwise need several fixed arms.
• • A 1000 kg rail body limits deflection at each stop, protecting placement accuracy.
• • Repeatable stop position removes the need for extra shuttle or transfer equipment.
• • Rack drive keeps travel speed steady, so cycle planning stays predictable.
• • Dress packs are routed along the rail, which reduces cable wear during travel.
• • Layout drawings cover foundation anchors and cable routing before delivery.
• • Packaging follows export crate standards with rust protection for sea freight.
• • Commissioning support covers safety checks, program handover and operator training.
• • Spare parts for common wear items and cables are held in local stock.
• • Documentation includes layout drawings, wiring schematics and a maintenance schedule.
• • Remote diagnostics are available for controller and drive faults during the warranty period.
• • Installation supervision can be scheduled with delivery to shorten ramp up time.
• • Acceptance testing is performed before shipment and a report is filed for the project.
• • Operator training covers daily checks, safe restart and basic program edits.
• • Fixtures are designed to suit the part family named in the project brief.
• • Safety circuits follow the plant standard and are documented for sign off.
• • Trial production runs are supported on site before acceptance.
• • Wear parts are specified with local part numbers for easy reordering.
• • Programming files are handed over in the controller project archive.
• • Warranty visits cover calibration checks during the first operating year.
• • Spare cable sets and connectors are recommended for continuous operation.

Applications

• • Transferring stampings between presses on automotive lines.
• • Moving components between machining cells and inspection points.
• • Serving buffers along a body shop line.
• • Loading and unloading fixtures across a long bay.
• • Handling parts between welding stations in sequence.

FAQ

• • How far can the robot travel? The rail covers up to 30 meters of travel, depending on layout.
• • Which robot is mounted? A Fanuc six axis handling arm is mounted on the carriage, matched to the payload requirement.
• • How is accuracy held at each stop? The electromechanical rack drive and rail body stiffness keep stop positions repeatable.
• • Is cable management included? Yes, energy chains route dress packs along the rail to reduce wear.
