Humanoids Serve Their Purpose With Advanced Motion Components As humanoid robots take their places in the world, their increased adoption would not be possible without advanced motion components that allow them to perform tasks by replicating human motion. But when it comes to… Continue Reading
High-Thrust Direct Drive Linear Motor Positioning Stages Offer Long Stroke Lengths in a Compact Unit If your dynamic application requires a fast, responsive positioning mechanism that also must fit into a tight space, a direct drive linear motor positioning stage is an excellent choice. After all, linear motor-driven units offer… Continue Reading
How Motion Component Suppliers Can Guide Humanoid Performance Improvements Today’s humanoid robots are performing tasks that until recently were considered impossible thanks to advanced functions that go hand-in-hand with high-performance motion components. Although the latest-and-greatest components may seem appealing, they may not meet all… Continue Reading
Custom Motion Components Help Humanoids Get to Work Humanoid robots are expected to transform a broad spectrum of markets thanks to advanced neural networks that command joints, appendages and end effectors to provide virtually human skills. In fact, the market potential is projected… Continue Reading
White Paper Explains How Precision Motion Components Enable Successful Robotic Surgery Outcomes Robots are increasingly becoming a viable option for people requiring an operation, and in many cases are even preferred over a surgeon’s hand. Thanks to precision motion components, along with advanced software and vision systems,… Continue Reading
Crossed Roller Bearings Slim Down for Surgical-Robot End Effectors In many robotic surgeries, a series of arms are tightly positioned above the operating table. Inside the end effectors that handle the instruments and imaging devices, crossed roller bearings (CRBs) not only must provide precise… Continue Reading
Space-Saving Polymer Cam Followers Don’t Compromise on Performance Sometimes cam follower manufacturers press-fit a layer of resin onto the cam follower’s large outer ring to further increase its diameter. While the outer ring’s larger diameter enhances radial load capacity, its thickness also makes… Continue Reading
CRBs Give Surgeons a Steady Robotic Hand Robotic surgery wouldn’t be surgery without…the surgeon. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the surgeon is in the theater with the patient. In robotic surgery, the surgeon can be in the next room — or possibly… Continue Reading
Ensure Precise Motion and High Performance for Translating Mechanisms in Surgical Robots Increasingly advanced surgical robot procedures are presenting system designers with complex motion challenges that must be overcome in order to ensure the best system performance and patient outcomes. For example, a single surgical procedure can… Continue Reading
