Motion Control – Miniature Motor for Robotics

Motion Control – Grippers are essential for robots engaged in pick-and-place applications. These electromechanical ‘hands’ allow objects to be grasped, manipulated and released, facilitating fast and precise interactions for low-mix, high-volume industrial processes. For the past three decades, pneumatic designs have been preferred by automation specialists – but this is changing. Electric grippers are proving a more modern solution, providing benefits in terms of efficiency, cost optimization, and space saving. At the heart of this advancement are miniature electric motors.
