I wanted to know if on a Kuka Robot (Currently using KR22), Axis 6 could be made to rotate in either direction continuously without any limits? I need to rotate A6(C) 10 rotations in the same direction without hitting a soft limit, is this possible?
KR 22 R1610-2 Axis 6 Continuous Rotation?

Yes. Set axis 6 to endless in work visual. Also possible for axis 4 in any standard 6 axis robot from Kuka. But be careful with cables attached to axis 4/6.

Thanks for the reply.
When you say cables, are you talking about external cables wired or plumbed to the End of Arm Tool? OR
Are talking about internal cables, wires? That was my concern is that if I rotate Axis 6 forever will it damage anything inside?

External cables are a problem. Internal wiring from kuka has no problem with multiple revolutions.
