Vention, the digital manufacturing platform for factory equipment, successfully certified its modular and customizable range extender (7th-axis) for the Universal Robots family of collaborative robots.
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.
"The addition of a 7th axis to our library of public assemblies, along with hundreds of other pieces of robot equipment, is part of our ongoing commitment to building an indispensable platform for anyone looking to deploy robot cells quickly and easily," says Patrick Halde, VP Sales and Business Development at Vention.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
