Association for Advancing Automation latest quarterly stats show 35,804 robots ordered between January and September, a big jump over same period in 2021
When to Choose a 4pole DC Motor
A 4pole design is stronger than a 2pole equivalent but can also fit within the same space and weight envelope. Greg Dutfield of maxon UK explains.
Japanese Robot Manufacturer relies on Digital Twin by CENIT
FASTSUITE E2 technology provides powerful foundation for digital twinning and offline programming at Sugino Machine
Can robots care? – Coreless motors driving patient care robots
FAULHABER’s SR motor series is ideal for healthcare robot applications. Supplied by EMS in the UK and Ireland, the motors are designed for optimum power and performance while minimising weight and size.
What Are Fresnel Lenses Used For?
In recent years, Fresnel Lenses, and their unique characteristics, have been recognised and tapped into by a different sector – the virtual reality (VR) industry.

Mapping the Stars, Galaxies and Black Holes in the Universe, Thanks to Precision of Faulhaber Motors & Systems
Their force is transferred to the robot mechanics by means of suitable planetary gearheads. The robot mechanics used here were developed and constructed by MPS. Integrated encoders report the rotary position of the motors to the controller.
New ABB SWIFTI industrial cobot delivers class-leading speed, accuracy and safety
SWIFTI™ CRB 1300 industrial collaborative robot is six times faster and five times more precise than other robots in its class. Combination of high payload capability – up to 11kg - and speed improves production efficiency by up to 44%.
KPI INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS OPENS FIRST FULL-SCALE DEMONSTRATION SITE IN NORTH AMERICA FOR NEW GEEK+ FOUR-WAY SHUTTLE SOLUTION
As part of a KPI-designed operation that increases storage capacity, boosts throughput, and builds flexibility, the Geek+ Four-way Shuttle supports multiple picking and storage strategies for pallets, containers, and individual units.
MiniMACS6 Stabilizes the Furuta Pendulum
A classic problem in engineering is the rotational inverted pendulum. It is used to demonstrate and examine movement patterns and control algorithms in control and electrical engineering as well as in mechanical engineering. These help to control robots and other machines.
3 Benefits of Working With a Robotic Integrator
Because there is more to automation than selecting a robot, working with a robot or system integrator can be extremely valuable to ensure the full robotic system is properly designed to achieve the desired results.
Robotic pipe crawlers using maxon DC motors
The crawlers access pipe sections with multiple bends, elbows and vertical sections, previously thought to be unreachable, up to 1km+ from point of entry. The award winning weld inspection system collects visual and dimensional information.
