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
Denso Robotics - Newest 6-axis VMB Series offers longer arm reach and higher load capacity
The new VMB series represent some of the newest members to our 6-axis family of robots. These high-performance, versatile units offer a longer arm reach and a higher load capacity than traditional models which make VMB an excellent solution for palletizing, packaging, and material handling. New features include greater air piping, valve and signal line options, as well as new programming options with state-of-the-art functions using our new WINCAPS Plus software. VMB offers an IP67 protection grade along with meeting ISO Class 5, which makes them suitable for electric parts, food manufacturing processes, and pharmaceutical and medical devices. With the addition of the new VMB large robots, all manufacturing processes can now be automated by DENSO Robotics.
