The 7th axis bundle for the igus ReBeL!

Expand the workspace of your ReBeL in no time.
With our individually and flexibly usable 7th axis, you can increase the operating radius of your ReBeL up to 5800mm! (according to technical design)
Whether overhead or horizontal, both are possible thanks to our drylin® toothed belt axis ZLW-20200, with a long service life and no maintenance. Thanks to our tribologically optimized plastics, no additional lubrication is necessary.

Control
The new control box makes it possible to control the 7th axis directly via the igus Robot Control as an external axis. Thanks to the direct connection to the CAN bus, you receive a ready-to-connect solution with which you can move the 7th axis within a very short time.
Simultaneous movement of the 7th axis and the robot in unlimited positions is also possible thanks to direct control via the igus Robot Control.
You can download the software for free here: igus® Robot Control software.

More work space = more possibilities!
Typical applications of our 7th axes for the ReBeL are:

• Pick & Place applications
• Quality controls or barcode checks on large components
• Processing multiple workstations
• Process larger components that are outside the normal robot workspace

Hardware
The bundle contains:

• Robot (ReBeL 4, 5 or 6DOF)
• 7th axis control box (including digital input & output extension to 14DIN + 14DOUT)
• Line set
• Linear axis ZLW-20200, including motor
• Energy chain including holder

Similar illustration. E-chains from the 2400 series are currently used. The chain length is designed for a centre feed (as of 11/2025). The chain can also be extended retrospectively if required (add chain links 2400.05.75, please contact us).
Note: Please note that the motor is located on the underside approx. 2 mm below the crossbars of the axis. During installation, either a clearance must be provided in the installation surface for the motor, or appropriate spacer adapters must be provided under the axis.
