maxon group has launched its new drive systems portfolio specifically designed for modern robotics applications. The company said it believes that developers and startups should focus on their core value drivers and challenges and leave it to maxon to take care of key complexities typically associated with robotic actuators, including high performance, reliability, supply chains, integration, and testing. <\/p>\n

Modern robots require highly scalable manufacturing of complex and high-performance actuators<\/a>, asserted maxon. Therefore, robustness and reliability are key, especially for systems operate in unstructured environments, the company<\/a> added. maxon said this is one of its strengths because it designs and tests all of its robotics products to the highest quality standards. <\/p>\n

The Sachsein, Switzerland-based company’s new portfolio contains 15 different actuators<\/a> divided into two families: High Efficiency Joints and High Precision Joints. It said each provides unique benefits to address a broad range of industrial applications. <\/p>\n

maxon’s High Efficiency Joint line<\/h2>\n

The High Efficiency Joints integrate torque-dense electric motors from maxon’s EC frameless DT motor lineup, planetary gears, electronics, sensing, and support structures into a fully integrated IP67 ingress-protected actuator unit. <\/p>\n

maxon said this line of joints can achieve up to 86% efficiencies and can output high continuous power, thanks to their integrated cooling capabilities. The joint line’s control system can be configured flexibly and support independent control of the joint. <\/p>\n

Target applications are mobile robots<\/a> in unstructured environments, explained maxon. This includes humanoids<\/a>, quadrupeds<\/a>, exoskeletons<\/a>, or mobile manipulators<\/a>. The company<\/a> said its systems enable roboticists to quickly create a high-performing robot that follows modern design principles such as those dictated by deep reinforcement learning and related simulation<\/a> approaches. <\/p>\n

maxon targets systems integrators with High Precision Joints<\/h2>\n

The High Precision Joints are more configurable systems based on strain-wave gearboxes and high-resolution output encoders, said maxon. While these actuators also feature torque-dense electric motors, the company said it’s targeting systems integrators. It said hopes to enable them to quickly create robotics systems like collaborative<\/a> or industrial manipulators or surgical robots. <\/p>\n

maxon’s High Precision Joints allow the creation of well-optimized robots. When combined with its customer-facing robotics design simulation, optimization, and consulting services, the company said it can ensure that customers obtain the right systems for their applications. <\/p>\n

maxon is a fully vertically integrated provider of actuation systems ranging from brushed to brushless motors, sensors, gears, and electronics. The company said this enables it to provide robotics actuators that are high-performing, low-cost, and adaptive to customer requirements.<\/p>\n

See maxon at webinar and Robotics Summit & Expo<\/h2>\n

Carsten Horn, applications engineering manager at maxon, and Dario Renggli, business development engineer at maxon, will participate in a free webinar at noon EDT on Wednesday, April 17, on “Motion Control for Healthcare Robotics Applications<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

In addition, Tobias Wellerdieck<\/a>, head of robotic drive systems at maxon, will be speaking at the Robotics Summit & Expo<\/a>, which will be on May 1 and 2 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. His talk, “Holistic Drive System Optimization for Robotics,” will discuss the challenges that come with developing robotic systems for new, complex markets. <\/p>\n

maxon will also be exhibiting on the Robotics Summit & Expo show floor at Booth 327. The company is also a Gold Sponsor of the event. Registration is now open<\/a>.<\/p>\n
