In this episode, we talk with Mike Pivac, CEO of construction robot provider FBR, and Joe Martino, senior sales engineer from maxon motor.

The maxon MicroMACS6 master controller provides high-performance motion control in a package just 55mm long, enhancing embedded design integration for robots.

In this free webinar, learn now controllers and other components enable successful deployments and scaling of warehouse automation.

maxon’s portfolio now includes 15 different actuators divided into two families: High Efficiency Joints and High Precision Joints.

Healthcare robotics, particularly surgical systems, have stringent motion control demands, and experts will review the latest options.

As the impact of climate change and land use continue to harm aquatic environments, it is becoming increasingly important to measure and monitor changes in water quality.

Depending on the requirements, ceramic components are usually made of zirconium and aluminum oxides.

maxon France is dedicated to the design, development, and production of customized mechatronic systems and modules, as well as motorized multi-axis systems for robotics.

Inspection robots can be found everywhere, whether in sewer systems, on wind turbines, or at the bottom of the ocean. And their numbers are expected to increase dramatically in coming years.

XSun designs and manufactures a drone that is both energy-independent and can make its own decisions, for fully-automated missions. The company needed reliable, high-performance sub-assemblies to design its SolarXOne.

How one company employs creative design techniques and online configuration tools to provide customized motors and gearheads for its latest robotic arm and gripper.

CubeRover needed to be compact and lightweight, handle extreme climate fluctuations, and maximize mobility for instruments operating on the rover.

We are at the beginning of the 4th industrial revolution. So, what do the changes hold for business and the workforce?

The automated guided vehicles (AGV) market is booming. According to a study by Research and Markets, the global market for AGVs is set to grow by 10.8% by 2026, reaching USD 3.64 billion. The fields of application are manifold, but we show you the Top 3 highest growth markets for AGVs. 1. Logistics An essential…

They move like snakes and reach places that are too narrow or dangerous for humans. The robust robotic arms of the Tokyo-based company HiBot take inspection, maintenance and repair to new levels. In the past, maintenance was not given much consideration in the construction of industrial plants, buildings or bridges. As a consequence, the maintenance…

AGVs (automated guided vehicles) are essential tools in the current commercial and industrial transformation. But what challenges do they need to address? The AGV market: why are we seeing such a boom today? Back in the 1950s, car manufacturers used guided vehicles in their factories to distribute mechanical parts. Since then, different methods have been…

We are witnessing the start of a robotic evolution that is sweeping through all aspects of agriculture. This includes drones that monitor fields, spray specific plants, or send information to other robots on the ground that pull-out weeds and harvest fruit. The current edition of driven, the maxon magazine, is dedicated to agriculture and it…

maxon Group and Fourier Intelligence today announced they are entering into a global strategic partnership. Fourier Intelligence, a Shanghai-based  startup founded in 2015, will use maxon’s precision drive systems for the development of its rehabilitation robotics systems. Fourier already uses maxon’s BLDC motors in its ExoMotus X2 exoskeleton, a powered lower-limb exoskeleton. maxon will now be…

maxon’s new IDX compact integrated servo gearmotor + drive combines a powerful, brushless EC-i motor and an EPOS4 positioning controller, which can be complemented with a maxon planetary gearhead when required. This integrated motor features high torque density, high efficiency, maintenance-free components, and a high-quality industrial housing providing IP65 protection. The IDX also features configurable…

Interest in surgical robotics has grown, but developers, healthcare providers, and surgeons should understand how the technology is developing, the role of motors, and what procedures are applicable. Learn more in the final RoboBusiness Direct sessions of autumn 2020.

The Smart ArM project, in which researchers developed specialized prosthetic arms, was among the teams participating in the Cybathlon 2020 competition that used maxon motors.

Among the tradeoffs in designing robotic prosthetics is the one between cost and function. Unlimited Tomorrow uses innovative production methods and maxon drives to help children gain function.
