Extended capability
The Linear Rail Transport adds 8th-axis horizontal movement to your OB7 or Blaze cobot, and is fully synchronized with robot motion to provide smooth, precise positioning throughout the entire travel length.
One robot can now serve multiple machines, work across extended assembly lines, or weld structures up to 7.3 meters (24 feet) long—all with the same no-code simplicity you expect from Productive Robotics.
Maximize productivity
One cobot can now tend multiple CNC machines, serve several workstations, or handle extended welding operations. Get more output from your automation investment by expanding where your cobot can reach.
Work bigger parts
Weld, assemble, or process large structures that exceed a stationary cobot's reach. The Linear Rail Transport enables automation of oversized workpieces without requiring multiple robots.
Stay flexible
Available in multiple lengths and compatible with your existing OB7 or Blaze cobot. Easily adapt your setup as production requirements change—the rail integrates with your current workflow.
Linear Rail for OB7 cobots
Combine any OB7 cobot with the Linear Rail Transport to automate across expanded work areas. Ideal for shops that need one robot to handle multiple tasks or serve several machines.
Multi-machine tending: One OB7 tends two or more CNC mills, lathes, or grinders along the rail
Assembly line integration: Perform testing, inspection, or assembly operations across multiple stations
Extended deburring: Process larger workpieces or move between deburring stations
Packaging lines: Pack, sort, or palletize across extended conveyor systems
Linear Rail for Blaze welding cobots
Pair your Blaze MIG or Blaze Laser cobot with the Linear Rail Transport to weld large structures, long seams, or multiple assemblies in a single automated operation.
Large structure welding: Weld frames, beams, and assemblies up to 7.3 meters (24 ft.) long
Long seam welding: Continuous welds along extended workpieces
Multi-fixture welding: Move between multiple weld fixtures or stations automatically
High-volume production: Weld multiple parts in sequence without repositioning
Built for simplicity and reliability
8-axis movement: The rail adds horizontal travel as an 8th axis, fully coordinated 7-axis OB7 or Blaze robots
No-code teaching: Productive Robotics' teach-by-demonstration technology—guide the robot by hand to teach tasks.
Cloud analytics: Productive Robotics' cloud analytics system streamlines connectivity for nimble data collection and reporting
Length options: Available in 2, 4, 6, and 8 meters
Compatibility: Works with all OB7 series and all Blaze welding cobots
Collaborative safety
The Linear Rail Transport maintains the collaborative safety features that make OB7 and Blaze cobots safe to work alongside. For applications requiring additional protection, an optional laser scanner stops the robot if a human co-worker enters the operating zone.
Collision sensing: Robot stops immediately when contact is detected
Safe collaborative speeds: No guarding required when operating at collaborative speeds
Optional laser scanner: Area monitoring stops robot motion when personnel approach
Works with all OB7 and Blaze cobots
