Can robot axis 6 continously rotate?

Robtr

Is there a way to setup axis 6 to continously rotate during a program? Reference to IRB 4400 and IRB 4600 with IRC5 controller.

Independent Axis [610-1] will do the trick

Yes, we have two of those exact robots with this option (I believe it is still an option)

Really!! Is it a optional? do you know the name of option? I'd like to looking for in the manual.

Robtr

Tyler - can you be more specific about the options you have for this. I would like to attach a gripper to grab a part, then rotate it continuously for a set amount of time.

Yes, it is a optioonal 610-1 Independent Axis
