PF400 Linear Axis Rail

Brooks

The Brooks PF400 Linear Axis Rail is a collaborative extension solution designed to enhance the reach, flexibility, and efficiency of modern lab and automation workflows. Built to integrate seamlessly with the PreciseFlex™ family of robots, the PF400 enables precise linear motion along a single axis—ideal for applications that demand extended travel without sacrificing accuracy or safety. With its compact footprint and robust construction, the PF400 rail increases system versatility in space-constrained environments while maintaining the reliability and precision Brooks is known for.

What sets the PF400 Linear Axis Rail apart is its ability to expand a robot’s effective workspace with smooth, controlled motion and embedded safety features. By adding linear travel, robots can access multiple instruments, hotels, nests, or workstations within a single setup—eliminating the need for multiple arms and reducing capital costs. Designed for collaborative use, the PF400 rail operates with low collision forces, making it safe for environments where people and sensitive equipment are present. Its integrated controls simplify deployment, while its durable design ensures long-term performance in demanding applications.
