Linear robots usually consist of three linear axes (X, Y and Z), which are arranged orthogonally to each other. Internally at Reis Robotics and in the corresponding documentation and programs, these axes are referred to as A1, A2 and A3. Each of these axes moves along a straight line and is driven by AC servomotors over a gearbox, whereby the power is transmitted via a rack and pinion drive.

Additional axes can be integrated into all linear robots, in particular additional rotary axes, which enable additional degrees of freedom and orientation options in one or more directions. This makes it possible to carry out even complex tasks. Due to the high accuracy of the additional axes and the robots as well as the various degrees of freedom, even demanding process tasks such as welding can be carried out precisely.

The linear robots are usually mounted on columns, leaving the working area, which can be a maximum of 45 meters in one direction due to the A1 axis alone, completely free for applications and various components except for the column mounting.
