Lifting, carrying and bending are common tasks in logistics warehouses, parcel delivery and airport operations. Repeated physical work can place strain on the back and other parts of the body. SUITX developed the IX BACK VOLTON exoskeleton to provide support during these tasks. The system uses robotics, control software and a battery-powered drive system to […]

NanoOne 3D printer uses FAULHABER drives for alignment
UpNano’s NanoOne 3D printer uses two-photon lithography to produce micro- and nanoscale structures for applications such as microfluidics and medical research. Because printing accuracy depends on precise substrate alignment, the system uses three compact FAULHABER motors to position the substrate during fabrication. The printed structures are not visible to the naked eye and require scanning […]

New motion controllers for four different motor technologies
Now, new MC 3602 B and MC 3606 B motion controllers simplify the selection and commissioning of drive systems. With encoders, these compact MC 3602/06 B controllers serve as servodrives in accordance with CiA 402 to command various DC motors, brushless DC motors, and linear motors. The controllers are also compatible with stepper motors (with […]
Micro drives bring dynamics into handling
Small dc micro drives bring dynamics into handling applications, such as swiveling-rotary modules Miniature drives and microdrives are used in virtually all areas of automation technology and have a correspondingly wide variety of applications. These range from medical technology and laboratory automation as well as general machine construction and intralogistics through to aerospace applications. In […]
Incremental encoder from FAULHABER features high resolution and accuracy
With the launch of the IEP3, FAULHABER expands its product line with an incremental encoder which, thanks to the latest chip technology, achieves a high resolution and accuracy. With a diameter of just 8 mm, the IEP3 is lightweight and compact yet still offers a resolution of up to 10,000 lines per revolution – made […]
Small and speedy wins the race
Fast-paced warehouse operations demand extensive automation, which is inconceivable without micromotors. Faulhaber weighs in on intralogistics robots and how drive system capabilities influence their design. Modern intralogistics technologies place high demands on drive systems. In many instances, drives must release tremendous force in confined spaces and perform precise positioning tasks in continuous or stop-and-go operations. […]
