Tips for Easy Machine Designs
by Hurley Gill, Senior Systems/Application Engineer, Kollmorgen What you need to know about simplifying your machine design approach for optimal servomotor control. An often-asked question from industrial machine builders or integrators is how can they effectively design or implement the conversion of a machine with servo technology to meet performance expectations. This is a specialized […]
Kollmorgen drives the lightweight helpers of Universal Robots
Ian Young, Key Account Manager, Kollmorgen, Ratingen Universal Robots (www.universal-robots.com) developed the UR5 and UR10 models for small and medium-sized enterprises in particular. The handling units lift a payload of five and ten kilograms, but only weigh 18 and 25 kilograms themselves respectively. This low weight makes it possible to move the units easily without […]
