Regal Rexnord showcases Thomson Movotrak Cobot Transfer Unit at SPS 2026
Cobot transfer unit on show at SPS 2026
At SPS 2026, Regal Rexnord demonstrates an integrated factory automation cell featuring the Thomson Movotrak Cobot Transfer Unit (CTU), a plug-and-play 7th axis solution extending cobot range by up to 10 metres. The showcase combines servo control, linear motion and conveyor technologies from its Thomson, Kollmorgen, Portescap, Bauer Gear Motor and Warner Electric brands for applications like machine tending and palletising. Regal Rexnord aims to show how these integrated capabilities help engineers simplify system design and increase production flexibility under space constraints.

irements. Extending robotic capabilities with integrated motion One of the key highlights is the Thomson Movotrak Cobot Transfer Unit (CTU), a plug-and-play 7th axis solution that extends a cobot’s operating range by up to 10 metres. By enabling one cobot to serve multiple workstations or a larger production area, it increases production line flexibility and makes better use of floor space. Flexible mounting options

rs offer solutions for different load requirements, with the XD providing dynamic load capacities of up to 25 kN. For applications requiring higher precision, T Series and PC Series actuators support loads of up to 60 kN with repeatability of ±0.05 mm, delivering superior performance as they are stronger, faster and come with a longer service life than other comparable units on the market. Thomson will also present i
