As manufacturers continue to automate, robots are being asked to do more than ever before. But maximizing a robot's reach doesn't always mean installing another robot—it often means giving it the ability to travel.

That's where the SERAPID LinearBeam excels.

Designed as a robust linear actuator for long horizontal travel, the LinearBeam provides an ideal solution for 7th axis robotic systems, allowing robots to move efficiently between multiple workstations while maintaining exceptional positioning accuracy.

SERAPID's Rigid Chain Technology delivers:

✅ Long travel in a compact footprint
✅ High load capacity with excellent stiffness
✅ Precise, repeatable positioning
✅ Low maintenance and high reliability
✅ Energy-efficient operation with no hydraulic systems

Whether your application involves welding, assembly, machine tending, palletizing, or material handling, adding a LinearBeam 7th axis can significantly increase robot utilization while reducing overall automation costs.

Discover how SERAPID LinearBeam is helping manufacturers build smarter, more flexible automation systems.

You may have seen the stunning photos of the Chicago Skydeck, but did you know they actually pull the booths back into the building for maintenance and weather?

There are 8 SERAPID LinearBeam units in the Willis Tower, which can retract the glass booths back into the building. This is necessary during inclement weather, as well as for maintenance and regular safety checks of the equipment.

Rigid Chain Technology powers the LinearBeam, an electro-mechanical solution for moving heavy loads safely and accurately. When safety is key, SERAPID has the solution!

Next time you visit the Skydeck attraction in the Willis Tower in Chicago, take a look at the ceiling and you will see the SERAPID LinearBeam units!
