Kollmorgen, a developer of movement management techniques, introduced the TBM2G sequence of frameless servo motors, introducing options that simplify the design of collaborative, surgical, aerospace, protection and different robots whereas delivering optimum efficiency in a lighter, extra compact package deal. These new motors will complement Kollmorgen’s current TBM and KBM sequence of frameless motors.

Ensuing from a number of years of analysis, testing and buyer suggestions, the TBM2G sequence provides high-performance torque in a compact electromagnetics package deal. These next-generation motors allow robots with decrease joint weight, larger load-carrying capability, improved power effectivity, decrease thermal rise, and sooner, smoother actions.

Frameless torque motors usually ship their finest efficiency at low speeds however undergo at larger speeds. TBM2G motors take away this limitation by way of superior windings and supplies that ship industry-leading energy, torque and effectivity persistently throughout a large velocity vary.

TBM2G motors additionally take away the sizing limitation that engineers typically face when utilizing off-the-shelf pressure wave gearing, additionally identified within the robotics market as harmonic gearing. The brand new TBM2G sequence motors are sized for an ideal match with available pressure wave techniques, eliminating the necessity for intensive customizations that may improve engineering time and price whereas probably main to produce and high quality points when robots enter full manufacturing.

The TBM2G sequence is on the market in seven body sizes with three stack lengths every—a complete of 21 commonplace motors that may be built-in straight into robotic joints and comparable embedded tools. Typical purposes are collaborative robots within the 3–15 kg vary, powered at 48 VDC and under. These motors are designed to carry out at excessive speeds with out exceeding the 80° C restrict usually wanted to safeguard people working in proximity to cobots and to forestall degradation of grease and digital elements. And so they’re accessible with thermal sensor choices to fulfill the necessities of drives and management techniques used within the cobot market.

Kollmorgen might be showcasing its newest movement management options on the Robotics Summit & Expo (Could 10-11 in Boston) in sales space 118. The Robotics Summit & Expo will characteristic 100-plus exhibitors, 50-plus audio system, the MassRobotics Engineering Profession Honest, a Design for Additive Manufacturing Workshop, and networking receptions. Attendees even have the possibility to take a look at drive Boston Dynamics’ Spot quadruped. Full convention passes are $795, whereas expo-only passes are simply $100. Educational reductions can be found and tutorial full convention charges are $295. Register at this time.

“We’re excited to introduce new servo motors that considerably improve general efficiency whereas decreasing measurement in a variety of frameless purposes,” Jeff Czarnecki, vp of worldwide advertising at Kollmorgen, stated. “And we’re significantly excited on the prospects the TBM2G sequence opens up for robotics. TBM2G motors are an ideal match for a brand new era of high-performance cobots,” Czarnecki stated. “They’re really robotic prepared.”
