New igus energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms igus®, the world leader in motion plastics and moving cable management systems, is launching a new energy supply system for SCARA robots in cleanrooms: the Clean SCARA Cable Solution is made of tribologically optimized high-performance plastics and works almost particle-free according to ISO Class 2 even in high-speed applications. It is also stronger and more user-friendly than classic corrugated hoses. In electronics production, tiny particles invisible to the naked eye can wreak havoc, ruining electronic components, semiconductors, and displays. Therefore, it’s critical that machines like SCARA robots, which move rapidly…
Equipped with the Same AZ Series Battery-Free Mechanical Absolute Encoder Technology Oriental Motor USA is pleased to introduce of a brand new line of servo motors called the AZX Series. These new servo motors are equipped with the same battery-free mechanical absolute encoder technology used in the Alpha Step AZ Series. Since these new AZX Series servo motors can achieve high torque in the high-speed range, they are suitable for applications that require continuous speed control or positioning with a large amount of travel. The basic operations are the same as the AZ Series, making the combined usage easier in…
To maximize the productivity of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) deployment, it’s critical to create the optimal environment that allows the vehicles to perform at their peak. For that reason, Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products, LLC® created the new TriGard® ESD Ultra finish for its ResinDek® engineered flooring panels. The new finish is ideal for high-traffic robotic applications characterized by highly repetitive movement patterns and defined travel paths. Scott McGill, Cornerstone’s Vice President of Sales: “As AMRs and AGVs travel throughout a facility — including on elevated warehouse platforms, pick modules, and mezzanines — the durability…
All robotic arms need a quality cable management system if they're to avoid frequent downtime. Corrugated tubing is a popular choice, but there's a better option that will keep your cables running longer: triflex® R cable carriers from igus. Read on to find out how these two industry heavyweights match up head-to-head. Round 1: Cable Installation How can cables be installed? Corrugated tubing Can only be installed via hose ends Cables with plugs that are too large can't be installed triflex® R Can be pressed in externally Can install any cables, regardless of the plug size Round 2: Replacement after…
