Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS) will be exhibiting the FAULHABER BXT-SC series and the AM3248 stepper motor at this year’s Design Engineering Expo, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham on June 8 to 9, 2022.

Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS) has supplied the new FAULHABER AM3248 stepper motor. Capable of achieving speeds five times that of comparable stepper motors, the AM3248 delivers exceptional performance in a compact size.

According to Next Green Car, there were over 535,000 plug-in electric and hybrid car models on UK roads in May 2021. As the ban on new diesel engines approaches, we’ll soon all be swapping gas for electricity. But bulky cables and charging infrastructure could cause a nuisance on our streets. So, should we start exploring other electric vehicle (EV) charging options? Here, Stewart Goulding, Managing Director of planetary gearhead supplier E...

The IHS Markit/CIPS Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) value for May 2021 demonstrated that UK manufacturing is growing at its fastest rate in almost 30 years. Manufacturers must increase production to capitalise on the record growth in new orders. However, scaling up production quickly without additional floor space and workers can be challenging. Here Dave Walsha, Sales Manager at EMS, explores how expanding automation holds th...

Maintenance in industrial settings is essential to maximise efficiency and prevent accidents, but can be a hazardous and difficult job. In these harsh conditions, robots can perform inspection and maintenance tasks to safeguard human workers. Here Stewart Goulding, Managing Director of EMS, looks at some of the industrial environments where robots dare to venture.

According to a 2020 survey by Mckinsey Global, COVID-19 has caused companies to accelerate the digitalisation of their internal operations by three to four years. The surge in digital uptake will propel the robotics industry forwards, shaping its contribution to businesses in 2021. Here, Stewart Goulding, Managing Director at Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS), explores robotic trends to look out for in the sector this year.

Emerging technologies have a large influence on the defence sector, facilitating the development of sophisticated electronic defence and intelligence systems. But how do you develop power components that meet the demands of innovative defence technology? Here, Stewart Goulding, Managing Director at Electro Mechanical Systems, has explained how precision micromotors are aiding the advancement of defence electronics.

UK General Sir Nick Carter has suggested that a quarter of the British army could be robots by the 2030s. However, the armed forces isn’t the only industry that’s facing an increasing number of robot employees. Here Stewart Goulding, Managing Director of Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS), explains how the rise of robotic workers poses promise, not a threat.

Around 50,000 people in the UK live with a spinal cord injury. To those who are injured, regaining movement is life changing - and advances in exoskeleton technology are helping to renew their independence. Here, Stewart Goulding, Managing Director of Electromechanical Systems (EMS), shares insight into the motor technology powering rehabilitation exoskeleton systems.

The Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland is renowned for showcasing futuristic vehicle designs. At the 2019 show, Kia revealed its concept car, Imagine, which took innovative design to the next level. While these vehicles are often far from mass produced possibilities, some of the features are already integrated into high end luxury vehicles. Here, Stewart Goulding from EMS, explains more.

You’d never leave your refrigerator door open at home. Not only would this mistake spoil your dinner plans, but it would also be a massive waste of energy. So why do we often find doorless fridges in supermarkets? Refrigeration in these stores hasn’t always been particularly energy efficient, but micromotors are helping to make an important switch.

If you’ve ever suffered from a toothache, you know that the pain it causes can be life-disrupting. Alarmingly, there are growing numbers of people across the UK waiting for dental treatment in pain. The increasing sophistication of micromotors is having a major impact on dentistry, leading to faster and improved treatment.

From recreational robots such as drones, to critical operational robots in the medical field, robotic technology is changing our daily lives. Here Stewart Goulding, Managing Director at precision drive system supplier, Electro Mechanical Systems, explores some current trends in the industry.

On December 17, 1903 in North Carolina, the Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve sustained flight with a pilot aboard. The modern ambition for many aircraft designers is to achieve the opposite — aircraft that is lighter than air.

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Mo Farah became the first British track and field athlete to win three Olympic gold medals, after winning gold in both the 5,000 and 10,000 metre races. The secret to his success was careful control of speed to navigate bends and avoid early fatigue. Likewise, in many industrial processes, precise control of micromotor speed is essential.

Czech photographer Miroslav Tichy once said that photography is simply painting with light. Light Revolution, a lighting and camera system manufacturer for the film, photography and photogrammetry industry, with the support of mechatronic drive motor specialist Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS), has taken the concept of painting with light straight into the 21st century for next generation of lighting system innovation.

Large swathes of industry are implementing powered and robotic applications to ensure high-quality repeatable processes. Hospital and medical professionals are also keen to implement these applications, especially with the current pressure on the medical system, as the robot revolution is expected to ease pressures. Here, Stewart Goulding, managing director at precision drive system supplier EMS, has discussed the rise of robotics in surgery.

From recreational robots such as drones, to critical operational robots in the medical field, robotic technology is changing our daily lives. Here Stewart Goulding, Managing Director at precision drive system supplier Electro Mechanical Systems, has explored some current trends that are set to appear in 2020.
