Akribis New Compact Linear Positioning Stages Provide High Precision and Repeatability
If your automated application calls for point-to-point or high-speed positioning, it’s a safe bet that precision and compact size will also be significant concerns as you consider positioning mechanisms.
Remote robotic camera systems for the film and broadcast industry
SPINEA, s.r.o. has been supplying its reduction gearboxes for several years to Filmotechnic, a leader in the development of special camera systems for the film industry. Their camera systems have been used on many successful feature films such as Fast and furious 9, James Bond, Mission impossible, Transformers, Transporter, Avatar, Hobbits, Tomb raider, Star wars,...
Five Motion Tips for Optimal High-Definition Metal Cutting Performance
When investing in a new or upgraded metal-cutting machine, industrial customers are looking for higher throughput, superior cut quality and greater ease of implementation and use. How can you establish your laser, waterjet or plasma cutting machine as the preferred choice for next-generation performance? Motion makes the difference. Learn 5 key opportunities for...
Advancing Exoskeleton Technology: Key Motion and Motor Design Considerations
In the ever-changing field of robotics and wearable technology, exoskeletons hold growing promise in several applications — revolutionizing human mobility and performance. The technology is most common today in selective physical rehab applications; but eventually, it could become ubiquitous in at-home-care and assisted-living environments — allowing users to...
Exoskeletons at Scale: Accelerating the Transition from R&D to Full-rate Production
The exoskeleton market is still in its infancy — but evolving quickly and ripe with opportunity. It’s a double-edged sword for OEMs who must identify the most impactful applications and crack the code on full-scale production, which presents a new set of challenges and considerations. Projects that seemed feasible during R&D and even LRIP can quickly become...
Akribis DGL Modular Direct Drive Linear Slides from Micromech
The Akribis DGL series is a range of modular direct drive linear slides.The DGL utilises the Akribis range of ironless and iron core motors along with encoder feedback and dual linear bearing guides in an aluminium housing to form a compact, high performance stage. The linear motors used in the DGL are the Akribis patented AUM series ironless linear motor or...
SPINEA an excellent choice for outdoor robots
Robots for outdoor environments have created a huge opportunity for development in the areas of autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, orientation in space, and movement in challenging environments. Gearboxes from SPINEA® will be part of this process and progress. The steam and water-powered machines of the first stage of the Industrial Revolution simplified...
When the Motion is Lost
The aim of this article is to provide more detailed information about this parameter in TwinSpin® gears. Further on, we give short examples with different lost motion setups to show the differences between backlash and lost motion, and finally we mention something about the companion of lost motion - hysteresis.One of the most common questions about TwinSpin®...
What is the universe made of? How did it start?
TwinSpin® high-precision gearboxes play a key role in the proper control, parameter setting and precision maintenance of the particle accelerators at CERN. They help to ensure the proper functioning and performance of these complex scientific facilities.Top scientists from European Union at CERN are looking for answers to these fundamental questions, using the...
