Robot Slider – High-Precision Motion Track for Industrial Welding Automation
Robot Slider – High Precision Motion Control for Automated Production Lines
1. Overview
As a core component of industrial robot linear motion systems, the Robot Slider (Model: AUT-DW-XY-Z/D-M-XXX) is engineered for high-precision, high-stability linear positioning in automated welding scenarios. Designed to complement articulated robots, gantry systems, and collaborative robots, this two-axis linear rail breaks through the limitations of fixed robot workspaces, enabling extended-reach operations while maintaining reliable motion accuracy. Equipped with a servo-driven gear-rack transmission mechanism and intelligent control module, it integrates seamlessly with mainstream robot controllers (e.g., Yaskawa YRC1000, FANUC R-30iB) and serves as a critical solution for large-workpiece welding, heavy-load handling, and precision assembly tasks in heavy industry.

3. Key Advantages
3.1 Extended Reach for Large Welding Workpieces
With a 30m (X-axis) standard travel length (freely combinable), the slider covers entire weld areas of large structures (e.g., ship hulls, crane booms) without frequent workpiece repositioning—eliminating the range constraints of fixed robot setups in large-scale welding applications.
3.2 Heavy-Duty Stability for Continuous Welding
The 500kg cantilever load and reinforced structure ensure stable operation during high-load, 24/7 continuous welding. Compatible with high-power welders, it handles thick-plate welding tasks that lightweight sliders cannot support, maintaining consistent performance without deformation.
3.3 Precise Positioning for Weld Seam Consistency
The gear-rack transmission and linear guide combination deliver ≤0.5mm/15m (X-axis) and ≤0.1mm/15m (Y-axis) repetitive positioning accuracy, avoiding cumulative errors in large workpiece welding. This ensures uniform weld seam quality across the entire production process.
3.4 Flexible Integration for Workshop Layouts
Supporting floor-mounted installation (and adaptable to irregular spaces), the slider is fully compatible with mainstream industrial robots and production line control systems via standard communication protocols. Its modular section design allows on-site length adjustment, reducing integration time by 40% compared to fixed linear systems.
