Gerard Bush, Sales Manager at motion specialist INMOCO explores the journey from designing humanoid robots to delivering them for practical use, highlighting the key challenges and solutions in this evolving field.
Celera Motion has introduced a larger version of its IncOder CORE inductive encoder series, featuring a 70 mm outside diameter feedback sensor, ideal for OEM integration projects and robotics.
By Gerard Bush, Motion Specialist at INMOCO explores the most important considerations in motor selection for battery-powered applications, illuminating the path to a more sustainable and competitive future.
Celera's Omni+ is a higher-power direct drive motor family for surgical robots, exoskeleton integration, and driving AGVs and AMRs, making it suitable for various applications.
A new electric actuator can take on pushing and pulling tasks that previously only hydraulic devices could achieve. The Thomson Electrak XD can handle dynamic loads up to 25,000N, and the actuator offers a large stroke up to 1.2m.
Direct-drive motion solutions have a performance advantage over conventional mechanical transmission systems but this comes at a premium. However, considering the value of the reduction in the total cost of ownership that can be presented to end users, integrating a direct-drive solution could help OEMs increase their rewards. With fewer components involved, a direct-drive solution can also speed up and simplify machine build.
Celera Motion has launched an inductive linear encoder for accurate and reliable position sensing in harsh environments. Distributed in the UK by INMOCO, Celera’s Lintran linear position transducer is designed for applications where electrical contacts or optical transducers would prove unreliable.
Tolomatic has released a rod-style actuator that provides continuous control capabilities for clean in place (CIP) applications. The new RSH actuator is manufactured from 316 stainless steel and is fully sealed, providing long-life use for hygienic applications including food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and medical processes. Distributed in the UK by INMOCO, the RSH has open motor compatibility for flexible machine integration.
Celera Motion has launched a multiturn variant of its highly durable IncOder absolute encoders supplied to the UK and Ireland by Inmoco. The compact, through-hole encoder design now enables multiturn measurement for rotary-to-linear or geared rotary systems.
