Seamless URCap & MachineMotion Control
Integration is completely plug-and-play. Driven by Vention’s MachineMotion controller, the system utilizes a dedicated URCap to connect natively with the Universal Robots ecosystem. Your team can program, position, and command the 7th axis directly from the familiar UR Teach Pendant—eliminating the need for complex external software, custom coding, or communication workarounds.
By combining Universal Robots' flexibility with Vention’s modular linear motion, you can deploy faster, lower your engineering overhead, and dramatically scale your production capabilities.
