Understanding Torque and Speed in Electric Motors
The higher the torque, the greater the ability to rotate heavy objects, overcome tough resistance or to transport objects vertically. Applications which rely on high torque can include hoists and cranes, as well as industrial mixing machines.
Why this wheel drive is getting so much attention from design engineers
To simplify the development of AGVs and AMRs, ElectroCraft offers a unique, integrated wheel drive platform, which provides increased performance and reliability at an affordable price compared to traditional motor/gearbox/wheel combinations.
Robots speeding up material handling
With omnidirectional movement and smart docking with virtually any warehouse cart in under 20 seconds, these new robots are making material handling faster and safer.
At least 60 million strokes
A "compact automation" is a mechatronic system that performs a whole series of consecutive production steps autonomously. "Compact" refers to the small dimensions, in the millimeter and centimeter range, of the products to be processed.
FAULHABER MICROMO in Clearwater, Florida - Progress as a driving force
What began with an idea and the founding of a company over 60 years ago is now a company that offers and sells high-performance FAULHABER drive systems throughout the North American market.
The rise of modular robots and the importance of drive train design
As part of an in-house robot build, optimizing the drive train that powers and controls each joint is vital to the robot's performance. The most effective way of achieving this is by developing the drive train as a complete module.
The most compact Motion Control System on the market
FAULHABER is introducing a new Motion Control System. More precisely: The world's smallest Integrated Motion Controller.
Those who adapt the fastest win.
A new type of tool changer now turns the specialist for large series into a flexible all-rounder, with which even small series and individual pieces can be produced economically.
Robust Drive System Simplifies Mobile Robot Development for the Factory of the Future
Another issue is the inability of some AGVs and AMRs to drive smoothly while operating slowly, an important consideration for scenarios where the AGV or AMR itself may perform part or component assembly.
Drive Systems - Success Through Interdisciplinary Approaches
There is much more to consider than just the design and the motor selection. Interdisciplinary thinking, specific engineering knowledge, depth of experience, and a clear understanding of the requirements are critical factors.
