FANUC 7th Axis Rail Programming

Aug 20, 2021

Adam Willea

Senior District Sales Manager

This video offers an in-depth guide to adding and programming a seventh axis on a FANUC robot. It emphasizes the importance of collaborating with FANUC and rail providers to get the right components for your setup. The tutorial delves into the two main control options, with a focus on Multi-Group Motion, which allows for independent or synchronized control of the robot arm and the linear rail. A key highlight is the demonstration of creating a "moonwalk" effect, a fun yet practical example of advanced programming using position initialization and data manipulation. The video encourages exploring a robot's full capabilities through synchronized motion and independent group programming.
