Gudel extends collaborative robot reach with CoboMover - The Robot Report

Güdel Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of the Swiss-based Güdel Group, has introduced the CoboMover, a seventh-axis linear track designed to extend the working range of collaborative robots (cobots) and light industrial arms up to 5 meters (16.4 feet). Unveiled at FABTECH, the CoboMover enables robots to operate across multiple workstations without manual repositioning, addressing key limitations in mobility within large workspaces and facility layout constraints. The system supports over 60 cobot models, offers mounting at 0° and 180°, and can handle payloads up to 78 kg (172 lb.) with high repeatability (±0.05 mm). Stroke lengths range from 1 to 5 meters, with a maximum speed of 2 m/s and acceleration of 2 m/s². The CoboMover features a toothed belt drive and Güdel’s HPG045 angular gearbox, and its modular track system incorporates air bearings capable
