Hi, I am a student and my project is to mount a FANUC lrmate 200ic with R30ia controller on a 7th axis rail system. The rail is gonna come from schunk or gudel.
Can the 7th axis be added to the robot servo controller ? Or will i be needing a PLC to run a servo drive to move the rail. I have ethernetIO on the robot and a AB plc for PLC-robot handshaking.
