More and more robots are finding their way into the rapidly growing market Automation. That's how she finds it Robotic Use in all areas of the factory Automation such as packaging technology, conveyor technology, dosing technology, medical technology, food technology, handling, machine tools and much more. The drive components installed in it must be reliable, process-reliable, economical and work with high dynamics. We present them to you here robot drive New developments like the last one Integrated motion technology from Synapticon:

Robot drive for the next AGV / AMR generation
05.12.2022 | Synapticon has on the PLC 2022 presented new solutions for the growing need for automation, including next-generation Autonomous Mobile Robots (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR). "Autonomous Mobile Robots and Automatic Guided Vehicles can be found in more and more environments and benefit significantly from the increasing pressure for automation in industry," says Michael Mayer-Rosa, VP Marketing at Synapticon. "In order to achieve the big breakthrough, however, hurdles such as safety, costs, development costs, scope of maintenance and so on have to be cleared. That's exactly where we help."
Problem in the autonomous robot or vehicle
Systems the first robot / Robotic arm Generation are often packed with a wide variety of components and cables. This often leads to a blatant lack of space and a chaos of components and Cable inside the automation system. Depending on the performance and desired runtime, appropriate batteries must also be integrated. There is often not enough space left for them. Last but not least, the numerous components require a lot of coordination in terms of energy management, control and construction.
Many of the autonomous mobile helpers or robots are extremely complicated to manufacture and quite demanding to maintain. This makes them costly to manufacture and maintain and hence uneconomical for many companies. In addition, some of the massive devices are only suitable for correspondingly large paths.
At the trade fair, Synapticon and its partners showed what practical solutions can look like. The special feature of the next-generation systems is the simple connection of all components over a single cable and protocol, made possible by the Fail Safe over EtherCAT (FSoE) standard, among other things. In the compact and economical systems, the motor/axis, laser scanner, control hardware and software are coordinated and connected to one another in such a way that intelligent motion control is possible with significantly less use of resources and space.
More space and functional safety
The significant difference of a next-generation AGV or AMR is that significantly fewer internal components and cabling are required. Synapticon meets this requirement with its servo drive for Robot and Cobots. The Somanet Circulo based on the specially developed Integrated Motion Technology.
The drive wheels, including all the components required for them, are integrated into the robot drive in a highly compact manner. This allows numerous combinations with complete axles - with or without Transmission. The integrated robot drives are open to the software and security solutions many other manufacturers. This significantly simplifies the development of AGVs and AMRs, makes production leaner and reduces maintenance.
The integrated robot drive saves volume, which is freed up for e.g. B. a larger battery that allows more power. Or the robots can be built correspondingly smaller. the Integrated Motion Devices include reliable functional safety with Safely Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safe Stop 2 (SS2), for example for a safely adaptive speed of the vehicle without additional components. This functional safety is indispensable, especially when the mobile robots and their human colleagues cross paths.
Robot drive wins the Hermes Award
29.05.2022 | Sumitomo Cyclo Drive Germany wins the Hermes Award 2022 for the fully integrated robot drive, which is also in the Automation services is used. Bettina Stark-Watzinger, Federal Minister of Education and Research, presented the award on May 29, 2022 during the opening ceremony of the Hanover Fair. Chancellor Olaf Scholz was there.
The Tuaka Robot drive series was selected by the jury chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reimund Neugebauer, President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, received the Hermes Award because it is outstandingly suitable for applications in the fast-growing robotics market. Tuaka are integrated drives with new ones gearboxes, motors and drivers with safety functions.
Thanks sensors and thermal management, the Tuaka drives are suitable for high-precision and sensitive applications in service robotics. The engines are also ideally equipped for interaction with people. The modular concept and the Tuaka modular system Active, Tuaka Service and Tuaka Drive allow the individual configuration of the necessary hardware.
Harmonic gears for industrial robots, cobots and handling
13.05.2022 | Strain wave gear are suitable for applications that require precise positioning and high repeatability. Schaeffler equals three new precision wave gears before. The kit for fully integrated Tribo strain wave gear from Igus has everything a cobot needs.
Cobots and service robotics with plug-and-play gears
12.05.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX | Cobots take over in the servicerobotics monotonous and non-ergonomic tasks. For the simple, cost-effective implementation of such lightweight robots Igus an Gearbox kit for cobots. The focus is on the fully integrated Tribo harmonic drive Motor, Absolute value Encoder, force control and controller.
Brushless DC flat motors for tight installation conditions
27.09.2019/XNUMX/XNUMX | More and more applications in the fields of robotics, prosthetics, laboratory automation, medical technology, pumps require a high torque with a very short overall length. Faulhaber will come with the launch of the flat brushless DC motors The BXT family with slotted winding meets these requirements.
Brushless flat motors for robotics, medical technology and drones
April 10, 09 | Servotecnica expanded with new ones brushless flat motors the SVTM F series, its product line for areas of application such as medical technology, robotics or drone technology. They offer high torque in the smallest space with a simple design and high-quality material selection.
Hydraulic drive for the surgical robot of the future
30.11.2018/XNUMX/XNUMX | Tumor therapy without risks and side effects? This still seems unthinkable. But in the labs, scientists are already working on solutions for the medicine of the future. To ensure that robotics do not interfere with imaging processes such as magnetic resonance imaging IPA-Engineers developed a new drive technology.
