Large-format linear modules (floor, overhead, vertical) used to move an entire industrial robot arm through space — effectively extending the robot's reach by an additional travel axis.
A hardware component subcategory covering structural-and-drive linear modules onto which 6-axis industrial robot arms are mounted. Unlike linear roller-screw actuators, robot tracks are substantial structural modules (lengths from a few to tens of meters) containing rail, carriage, rack or driven beam, gearing and a safety system — all engineered for the dynamic loads of a complete robot with mounting frame. Classic variants are floor, overhead and vertical.
