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.
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.
Simulating Heat Transfer in Power Cables Using the Finite Element Method (FEM)
Choosing the right cable to use in any application depends on many parameters. One of the most important is its ability to thermally resist a maximum imposed current.
2021 Top Article - How to Find the Right Damper for Your Application
Industrial Dampers cushion vibrations in machines. In order to fulfill this task perfectly, there are a large number of different types. To find the right variant for your own application, the load cases should be examined in detail.
True Flexibility in your Robotics System
Leveraging third-party hardware, such as a robotic picking arm, and software, such as customized WMS, is crucial if you want true flexibility in your robotics system.
Evolution in the Press Shop - Intelligent, Camera-based Tool Protection in Stamping and Forming Technology
Boosting efficiency through digitalization - almost no branch of industry can evade it. Also operators of press shops are increasingly networking their production. But - it's not always necessary to replace the entire plant in order to stay up to date.
How to Select the Best Motor for a Jointed Arm Robot
There is a seemingly endless selection of DC, stepper, and servo motor products on the market, each with their own advantages and drawbacks. Going into the selection process having answered a few key questions will vastly simplify the selection process.
Choosing the Right Encoder for Your Robot
Most robots use servo motors to move their joints, calling for rotary or angle encoders. As speeds increase, so do the control dynamics the motors require, sometimes making vibration mitigation just as important accuracy and resolution.
Handling Omnidirectional 3D Vision Data in Mobile Robots
We are currently focused on two main solutions - human presence detection with depth for autonomous mobile robots and UV-C disinfection robots. We also focus on obstacle detection and avoidance as well as localization and mapping for AMRs.
How to Select the Right Motor for Your Robot
As both an industry and an entire class of technology, robotics changes and advances rapidly. Whether as a hobbyist or seasoned robotics engineer, you need to know each component inside and out. You should also know how to choose between several different variations.
Benefits of a Tactical Grade IMU in Low-cost GNSS/INS Systems
When determining which system is right for your application, it can be difficult to visualize the impact of IMU selection on total system performance. Our goal in this paper is to show how the quality of the IMU affects the end-use system via several real-world tests.
6 Cool Servo Drive Features You Might Not Know About
Servo drives have evolved far beyond the basic power amplifiers they once were. They can now be complex pieces of electronic equipment with dozens of additional features to expand upon and improve their motion control capabilities.
How Robotics is Transforming Manufacturing
When you sell a robot, the amount of additional required pneumatic components, sensing products, vision inspection systems and machine safety products can cost as much or more than the robot itself. Every robot sold has an exponential economic ripple effect.
