Production
Pick & place along a line
The rail indexes parts into the arm's workspace — conveyor-style loading, bin picking down a feed, sequential placement across a tray.

LINEAR·RAIL
Your workspace, ten times longer.
The Linear Rail stretches the WR‑82 to 1000 mm of uninterrupted motion. Pick-and-place down a production line. Laser-engrave a banner. Draw a mural end-to-end. One job, one pass.

What it does
Your workspace,
ten times longer.
1000 mm of uninterrupted motion. Every job you'd run on the bare WR‑82 just gets longer — with no setup, no configuration, no seams.
Assembly
Multi-station assembly
Place drill, glue, inspect, and finish stations along the rail. The arm moves a fixture between each station.
Inspection
Long-part probing & scanning
Probe or scan a part longer than the arm's reach. Touch, advance, touch again — QC, dimensional checks, surface maps.
Graphics
Unbroken long-form drawing & engraving
Single continuous strokes across the full 1000 mm — long murals, banner signage, laser engraving end-to-end, calligraphy without a break. One job. One pass. No re-registration.
Tending
Machine tending down the rail
Load and unload 3D printers, CNCs, test rigs arranged along the rail. One WR‑82 runs a small lab.
Software
Plug-and-play with Studio
Plug the rail in and Wade Robotics Studio recognises it instantly. Your workspace stretches to the full 1000 mm. No calibration wizard, no drivers, no configuration.

Coming Q3 2027
A free upgrade
that unlocks more.
Every rail you buy today is v2-ready. When the firmware update lands, your existing hardware gets new motion capabilities — no new cables, no upgrade kit.
Q3 202701
Follow moving work
Track a conveyor as it feeds parts. Paint around a rotating part. Weld a long seam on a workpiece that shifts. The rail and arm move as one machine, in real time.
02
3D curves across the full rail
Spirals, arcs, sweeping paths that cross the arm's full range and the rail's full length in a single unbroken move. New shapes, new jobs.
03
Faster, smoother motion
Smarter motion planning across every joint. Corners blend instead of stopping. Cruise speeds climb. Jobs finish faster, with cleaner lines.
04
First-class rail controls
The rail shows up as its own axis in Studio — jog it from the UI, drag it from Blockly, call it from the SDK. No special flags, no mode switches.
Compatibility note
Every rail ships v2‑ready.
Buy the rail today for independent motion. When the Hub's unified planner lands in Q3 2027, a free firmware update turns your existing rail into a coordinated axis — no new hardware.
