Automated Support Removal & Finishing for Metal AM - Robots vs CNC
This article will address the transition to automated support removal (and finishing) solutions and consider the advantages and disadvantages of using CNC systems versus the versatility and reliability of robots.
AI and the Chocolate Factory
Reinforcement learning is an approach adopted from artificial intelligence (AI) that mathematically replicates natural learning. The chocolate factory is an example of how application-specific optimised controls can be developed much faster in this way.
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.
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.
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.
