Flexible Auxiliary Axis System

The Liberty MDrive is an integrated motor/drive/controller. The Ethernet Interface created by Novanta IMS allows the UR Robot user to create multiple external axis' all coordinated by the UR Controller. This allows for linear axis, rotary axis, tool changers, and other auxiliary axis' such as pumps all to work in coordination with the co-bot. The Liberty MDrive is available in 3 NEMA frame sizes (17, 23, and 34) as well as 3 stack lengths (single, double and triple). The Novanta IMS open ended implementation of the UR cap allows the integrator or end user to create a specific robot cell with one or two tasks, or create a truly flexible co-bot environment.

The Novanta IMS URCap provides the end user with an easy way to communicate with Liberty MDrives. This allows them the flexibility to add auxiliary, rotary, and linear axes to the application.
