From industrial and collaborative robotic arms to cell robots and the newest humanoids, designers try for ever lighter and extra compact designs. On the identical time, they should deal with more and more heavy payloads and meet quick working specs. That is the place motor science turns into important, in response to a speaker at RoboBusiness 2024.
At 2:45 p.m. PT on Oct. 16, Todd Brewster, director of electromagnetic engineering at Kollmorgen, will talk about the evolution of motor science, from idea to motion. He’ll look at the expertise‘s position in enabling robots to fulfill industrial calls for and to be commercially profitable.
Brewster’s session, which will probably be on Day 1 of RoboBusiness, will share insights into how motors will be designed to enhance thermal dynamics and robotic effectivity. As well as, he’ll talk about the right way to design high-performance techniques whereas additionally contemplating weight, measurement, and value components.
Attendees can be taught engineering standards for evaluating robotic designs and figuring out the efficiency specs and working lives of their techniques. Brewster will cowl:
- Technical formulation behind motor efficiency
- Main causes of warmth losses seen in motor design and their trade-offs
- How optimized motor design improves warmth administration in robotic system designs
Concerning the motor science skilled and Kollmorgen
Brewster has greater than 32 years of expertise within the electromagnetic design of everlasting magnet motors at Kollmorgen. This expertise contains designing high-efficiency motors for a variety of industrial and medical functions together with servos, elevators, electrical automobiles, coronary heart pumps, and robots.
Brewster earned his electrical engineering diploma at Virginia Tech.
Radford, W.Va.-based Kollmorgen will probably be exhibiting at Sales space 325 at on the expo ground at RoboBusiness. The Regal Rexnord model has greater than 100 years of movement expertise and supplies frameless motors, drives, cabling and connectors, and automatic guided car (AGV) management techniques.
Kollmorgen not too long ago added VDA 5050 interoperability help to its fleet supervisor for AGVs and autonomous cell robots (AMRs), and its clients embody DB Schenker. The corporate additionally supplies movement management platforms, different elements, and techniques integration companies.
Kollmorgen will once more be an exhibitor at RoboBusiness. Supply: Kollmorgen
Be taught greatest practices for enterprise, engineering at RoboBusiness
Along with enabling tech and robotics innovation, RoboBusiness 2024 focuses on investments and enterprise matters associated to working a robotics firm. Keynote talks on the occasion in Santa Clara, Calif., will embody:
Greater than 70 consultants will probably be on stage at RoboBusiness sharing greatest practices for industrial robotics improvement. Over 70 exhibitors will probably be on the present ground. It would additionally embody a Girls in Robotics Luncheon, the Pitchfire startup competitors, a startup bootcamp, 10+ hours of devoted networking, and far more!
