Kollmorgen TBM Series of Direct Drive Frameless Motors Honored as Finalist in the 2018 Design News Golden Mousetrap Awards
Kollmorgen is pleased to announce that its TBM series of Direct Drive Frameless motors has been selected as a Golden Mousetrap Finalist in the Automation and Control category. The configurable nature of the TBM™ family allows customers to optimize the motor selection to match specific application requirements, thus differentiating their robotic machine designs. The high-performance TBM motor is easily integrated into a wide range of robotic applications such as robotic joints, medical robotics, sensor gimbals, guidance systems, and other motion-critical applications.
Golden Mousetrap Awards will be announced at a ceremony on February 6, 2018.
"We know that our customers - especially in the Robotics and Collaborative Robotics space - are bringing both their software and machines to market quickly to answer explosive demand. Our TBM motor is configurable for that perfect fit, which means less time in the product development phase and more time fulfilling the needs of our customers customer," said Melanie Cavalieri, Director of Product Marketing at Kollmorgen.

Kollmorgen TBM is designed to be directly embedded into machines, using the machines own bearings to support the rotor. The low cogging torque means motion is smoother. The improved performance opens the door for new uses. TBM technology is optimized for applications that require high power in a small, compact package with minimized weight and inertia. TBM's industry-leading frameless design is efficient, lightweight and flexible, and available in several frames sizes with multiple stack lengths and winding options.

Featured Product
Bota Systems - The SensONE 6-axis force torque sensor for robots
Our Bota Systems force torque sensors, like the SensONE, are designed for collaborative and industrial robots. It enables human machine interaction, provides force, vision and inertia data and offers "plug and work" foll all platforms. The compact design is dustproof and water-resistant. The ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 mounting flange makes integrating the SensONE sensor with robots extremely easy.
No adapter is needed, only fasteners! The SensONE sensor is a one of its kind product and the best solution for force feedback applications and collaborative robots at its price. The SensONE is available in two communication options and includes software integration with TwinCAT, ROS, LabVIEW and MATLAB®.
