The single-column, multiple-arm design of conventional surgical robots limits the angle of approach when multiple instruments are deployed. This is the main challenge that needs to be overcome.

There can be a fine line between what is considered a motion controller and what represents a basic servo drive. It is critical to understand the functionality and intelligence of both.

Kollmorgen’s TBM2G series of frameless servo motors offers high-performance torque in a compact electromagnetics package.

In this RoboBusiness Direct session, Kollmorgen frameless motor specialist Tom S. Wood will help robotics developers pair motors with Harmonic Drive gearboxes.

In this contributed piece, Kollmorgen engineers describe environmental factors to watch for that could affect the performance of robot motors, gears, and sensors.

Kollmorgen has introduced the next generation of Motioneering, the company’s innovative servo sizing tool. Motioneering was introduced more than 20 years ago – the first tool of its kind – to help mechanical design engineers find the ideal motion products to build into their machines. It simplifies the design process by incorporating 100-plus years of…

Tom Wood, a frameless motor product specialist at Kollmorgen, will be participating in a panel about motion control and robotics opportunities at the Robotics Summit & Expo. Kollmorgen will also be conducting demos of its motors.

Engineers can learn about recent developments in mobile robot technology from speakers, exhibitors, and peers at this conference in Boston in June.

Click below to watch on demand.     ‘Motion’ in the physical world, whether in the form of changing place, position or posture, is perhaps the greatest differentiator between robotic systems and all other classes of engineered products. It is motion that makes robotics systems…

Kollmorgen, a leading provider of servo, frameless and stepper motion solutions for a variety of robots, including collaborative robots, industrial articulated robots, medical robots and more, will be displaying its latest products at the Robotics Summit & Showcase. Taking place May 23-24 at the Westin Boston Waterfront, the Robotics Summit is a multifaceted educational event…

With the addition of natural navigation capability to Kollmorgen’s NDC8 platform, the need for reflectors or markers to the existing environment for navigation has been effectively removed. OEMs and integrators are free to arrange and rearrange the way AGVs move in the warehouse or factory. Installation time is short, reducing costs and minimizing the effect […]
