…the creation of automation for the production of high-value, high-precision components, aircraft, and vehicles. The company has more than 130 robotic systems installed in the U.S. and abroad. FerRobotics helps address combustion risk In addition to putting human workers at risk of serious respiratory illness, C2D1 worksites produce combustible dust in the air that can be quickly ignited by an equipment malfunction or the improper use of rated equipment. In a C2D1 environment, combustible dust of an electrically conductive nature might also be present, or dust might be emitted into the air continuously, intermittently or periodically. “Because combustible dusts have…

…in diameter and delicately hold 10-0 to 12-0 sutures. Precision in microsurgery is important as it involves suturing arteries, veins, ducts, and nerves.These procedures require high visual magnification, specialized instruments, and advanced fine motor skills, the company noted. MMI said the Symani System has allowed surgeons to have better surgical precision when manually suturing extremely small vessels. The new Supermicro NanoWrist instruments build on that work and allow for even greater precision in smaller spaces, according to the company. Real-world use case Dr. Simon Enzinger, a surgeon at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University Hospital Salzburg,…

…building frameless motors and integrated drive systems to optimize precision and to give robots the power they need in confined spaces, according to Biren Patel, business development manager at Maxon USA. He sees an increasing need for components to be of both low weight and size to accommodate for collaborative robots. “With robots being integrated around humans, there will be a need for more sensors to be placed into tight spaces, and this will limit the space there is for motors and drive electronics,” said Patel. When developing its new ECF DT Series of motor products, Maxon focused on optimizing…

…and AI. However, such robots are built for submillimeter precision and 80,000-hour repeatability. Service robots don't require the same characteristics for general tasks. We can produce a multi-DoF [degree-of-freedom] system at the same price or less. Instead of trying to get to a certain level of accuracy over time, we can build a 30-DoF robot versus a four-DoF system. We'll be able to produce humanoid robots for less than industrial robots. We’ve built more than 30 unique electric actuators in a different way toward scalability. The second challenge is versatility. In addition to a hardware platform capable of a wider…
