Embedded motion and frameless motors in collaborative robots

June 3, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Collaborative robots use frameless brushless dc motors from BEI Kimco DIP26-08 and DIP30-11 and DIP38-13

Collaborative robots are seeing exponential rise in use. “This trend is a perfect example of the so-called fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 … a term defined by chairman of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab. It’s blurring lines between digital, physical, and biological spheres,” said Jonas Proeger of Trinamic Motion Control. Some of these […]
