As President Trump's second term unfolds, the manufacturing landscape in the United States is poised for a significant transformation. The administration's renewed focus on reshoring manufacturing operations presents both opportunities and challenges for industry leaders.
NGen, Festo Didactic and Humber Polytechnic, a leading Canadian post-secondary institution known for its career-focused, hands-on approach to education, are partnering to demonstrate the strength of Canadian mechatronics skills at Hannover Messe.
Software alone isn’t always enough to tackle the demands of real-time stereo vision. That’s where smart hardware solutions come into play. Think of it as having a specialist to take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on the big picture.
The high flexibility of cobots, not only in adapting to changing tasks but especially in diverse working environments, places stringent demands on the seals employed. To guarantee operational reliability and long-term durability, it is crucial to protect the joints from dust, splash water, and other contaminants. Seals play a pivotal role in this context. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies' high-performance sealing solutions not only prevent leaks and potential failures but also enhance the efficiency of robotics applications by ensuring a long service life. Sealing solutions for cobots from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies.
We are more than seals, we enable and unlock new features for robotics.
Robots have always fascinated us! The dream of human-like machines that independently perform complex tasks is ancient. What began as a utopia has long since gained a firm place in the automation industry as industrial robots. 6-axis, SCARA, or Delta robots take over physically demanding, unhealthy tasks and tirelessly complete even the most monotonous work steps 24/7. This permanent use in mostly demanding industrial environments requires maximum performance from all robot components. For the seals, this means above all high demands on reliability and service life. Immerse yourself in the universe of robotics and discover how Freudenberg Sealing Technologies can support your company with its customized sealing solutions.
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies’ IPRS (Ingress Protection Seals for Robots) provides reliable protection for robotic systems operating in harsh environments. Designed to prevent dust, moisture, chemicals, and wear from compromising performance, IPRS extends service life and reduces maintenance. The adaptive Z-shaped geometry ensures sealing integrity under continuous motion, making it ideal for high-speed automation and outdoor applications. Manufactured with high-performance elastomers such as Fluoroprene XP and EPDM, IPRS offers exceptional resistance to lubricants, cleaning agents, and extreme temperatures. This makes it the perfect solution for six-axis robots, SCARA robots, AMRs, AGVs, and cobots.
With its low-friction design and durable materials, IPRS enhances energy efficiency and operational reliability in industrial and autonomous robotics. Learn more about our IPRS Seals
