Forklift Safety: AGVs to the Rescue
As a relatively new addition to site operations, standards and data on AGV safety are still developing, but some AGV manufacturers are going above and beyond the minimum requirements to help ensure accident-free operations.
12 Ways Companies Are Automating Workflows With Mobile Robots
AMRs can pick up waste (scrap material, packaging, manufacturing by-products) from various points throughout the facility and automatically take it to the nearest waste disposal zone.
AMRs in Fleet Operation and Test Deployment
Manufacturing companies are turning to AMR support in increasing numbers, not just on a small scale, but the interest in entire AMR fleets is gaining significant traction.
How Robotics Can Help Global Renewable Energy Goals & Create Jobs
By buffering the dangerous aspects of solar module maneuvering and installation, these smart robotic arms are creating processes to move solar equipment faster and build sites with fewer errors.
The Innovation Behind the Orbital Flex™ Design Gear Solution
Motus Labs was built around the concept of innovation in the robotic gear solutions space, & we're constantly looking for ways to improve the customer experience and the performance of our robotic gears. This idea is even further supported by our recent gear solution design.
3D Time-of-Flight Camera Aids Robotic Palletizers
Regardless of the palletizing method, the goal of any supply chain operation is to ship out the most product possible. This can only be done by making the best use of the space on each individual pallet, even if it means just one more package per pallet.
Motors and Motion Control Technologies in Orthopedic Surgical Robotics
Motors found inside orthopedic tools normally serve as the primary power source for driving devices like bone saws, drills or shavers. In these variable speed applications, motors need to be exceptionally small in diameter, lightweight & capable of running at high speed.
Innovation in Mobile Robots for Warehouse Automation
The software is where the real magic is, though, at ForwardX. Our f(x) Fleet Manager is constantly improving using deep learning AI that analyzes every input and creates the most efficient process when dispatching AMRs for large orders or multiple orders.
How Micromotors Are Helping Eliminate Inefficiency in EV Charging
The system uses motors from the FAULHABER CR series, which has graphite commutation, a very robust type of commutation suited to high power applications. The motors also feature extremely powerful neodymium magnets and a high copper content rotor, delivering supreme power.
Enabling Peak Servo Performance with Thermal Protection
Motion control systems with brushless DC, voice coil or three-phase direct drive actuators use a position servo controller that dynamically changes the current in each motor phase.
