Users of the Vention cloud-based machine design platform can now design and order custom range extenders for Universal Robots in a matter of days.
Suitable for UR3, UR5, and UR10, including the e-Series, Ventions range extender connects seamlessly with the Universal Robots controller. Users can program their range extender from the UR teach pendant, leveraging Ventions URCap for linear motion.
Ventions deep software development expertise is fully reflected in this URCap release, which includes speed and acceleration control, absolute and relative motion control, and homing sequence features.
More benefits and features of Ventions range extender for Universal Robots:-
Fully customizable length, height, mounting orientation, and number of axes, to suit a broad range of applications.
Driven by Ventions plug-and-play linear motion technology, powered by Thomson Industries.
Ships with everything needed for deployment, including all required sensors, wires, connectors and URCap software.
Seamlessly integrates with the Universal Robots controller via Ventions URCap for linear motion, eliminating the need for complex integration and third-party software.
Available in several configurations within Ventions public library, all of which are ready to be customized for specific use cases.
Ships in 5-7 days with a pre-assembled linear axis.
