Güdel introduces Swiss quality tracks for collaborative robots

by

From moving cobots to novel mobility solutions, Güdel is highlighting two new technologies at Automate 2025 booth #2418 that demonstrate its “unmatched ability” to solve automation engineering challenges.

First, Güdel will unveil the CoboMover, a 7th-axis linear track purpose-built for collaborative and lightweight robots.

Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, the CoboMover extends the working range of robots up to 5 meters (16.4 ft), allowing them to operate multiple workstations and perform a variety of tasks without manual repositioning.

Güdel to showcase linear motion tech for robots at FabTech

by

Adding linear motion to articulated robots is now a widely adopted solution to extend flexibility and work envelopes.

But these benefits only apply if the robot runs smoothly on a track that in many production environments will be exposed to dust, soot, abrasives and fine contaminants, which can cause the track’s roller bearings to stop rotating, leading to malfunction and robot downtime.

At FabTech booth W5029, Güdel will showcase its “cam follower advantage”. A cam follower is Güdel’s cylindrical roller bearing mounted on a stud that rides on the guide rail, providing significantly increased resilience to harsh industrial environments compared with traditional profile guides commonly used in 7th axis tracks.

Güdel launches ‘pre-configured’ track-based robotic welding solution

by

Güdel has launched a pre-configured robot track motion module for arc welding applications, called ArcTrack. 

The company says the new systems delivers “the highest flexibility and reduces lead time by 40 percent”.

Güdel says it has pre-engineered a TrackMotion Floor configuration with an auxiliary shelf to carry welding equipment, large wire spools and torch cleaning and reaming devices with the robot.  [Read more…] about Güdel launches ‘pre-configured’ track-based robotic welding solution
