Festo introduced UR+ certified multi-axis solution for Universal Robotics (UR) cobots. The certified UR system adds as many as four axes of motion beyond the UR cobot six axes. Multi-axes are configured through the UR HMI. End users set position, speed and acceleration on the HMI or, using the URCap toolbar, move the axes in manual mode to configure motion. The multi-axis system features the Festo Motion Control Package (FMCP) for UR, a complete motion control panel for up to four axis motion. The FMCP is fully integrated with the UR cobot control panel and HMI, and features a UR safety I/O and communications interface. The FMCP has extra space within the panel for future expansion and brackets for wall mounting. Festo EGC belt-driven or ball-screw linear axes comes equipped with a cobot mounting plate. The EGC has an energy chain for cable management and servo motor optimized for performance.
