IRB8700 is there a way to add a rail?
Or there is a workstation package containing 8700 and rails available？

    ABB does not sell a rail for the IRB8700 so no rail is available with RobotStudio.

    Gudel have a track for the IRB8700(TMF-5) - you can down load the CAD model from their web site - make a mechanism to move the carriage correctly.

    Then you need to modify the motion configuration file (moc.cfg) as per the additional axis and stand alone controller manual - I think most of the details required (eg gearbox ratio) are in the Gudel datasheet.

    Have never done this my self but hope this helps.

    Are any more details available on what needs to be modified in the configuration to allow IRB 8700s to be mounted on tracks?
