Mounting a robot arm on a movable base, known as a 7th axis, adds flexibility, enhances collaboration and provides collision protection. A 7th axis is, however, a high-precision system, and maximising productivity from it requires close consideration of where and how you mount it, and application-specific factors such as the availability of collision detection systems and the number of linear guides used, as the experts at Thomson Industries explain.
