A new magnetic guide sensor capable of detecting and reporting the position of a magnetic field along its horizontal axis, has been introduced by Roboteq. The sensor is intended for line following robotic applications, using adhesive magnetic tape to form a track guide on the floor. Measuring only 165x35x35mm, the MGSW1600 is built into a rugged, watertight, all-metal enclosure. It uses an 8-pin waterproof M12-type connector for it...

  A simulator that lets AGV designers programme, test and fine tune their Automated Guided Vehicles in the comfort of their PC has been introduced by Roboteq. A magnetic track guided AGV can be built with just two Roboteq components: an MGS1600 magnetic guide sensor and any Roboteq Dual Channel motor controller.

  Roboteq has introduced the SBL2360, a compact intelligent controller capable of driving two brushless DC motor up to 30A each at up to 60V.

An intelligent controller capable of directly driving two DC motors up to 120Amps each has been introduced by Roboteq. Priced at only $425 in single quantity, the XDC2230 is targeted at designers of Mobile Robots, Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Warehouse Automation Systems or any other high power motor control application.

Roboteq has released an application note and a demonstration video, showing how to build an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) which follows a track made of an adhesive magnetic tape affixed to the floor. The design uses just two Roboteq components: the MGS1600 magnetic guide sensor, and the MDC2230 programmable dual channel DC motor controller.

Roboteq has today announced the most versatile and capable I/O expansion card ever made for the ultra-popular Raspberry PI Single Board Computer. Roboteq’s RIO - for Raspberry I/O - stacks on top of the Raspberry to create an amazingly powerful embedded control and navigation computer, in a small footprint of just 65 x 85 x 20mm.

Roboteq, Inc introduces a new magnetic guide sensor capable of detecting and reporting the position of a magnetic field along its horizontal axis. The sensor is intended for line following robotic applications, using adhesive magnetic tape to form a track guide on the floor.

Roboteq is collaborating on a kickstarter project named RIO and aimed at creating an intelligent I/O card that stacks over the $35 Raspberry PI Linux Single Board computer. The RIO card includes a rich set of I/O and connectivity features.

Roboteq has today announced the introduction of an intelligent controller capable of directly driving a hall-sensor equipped brushless DC motor up to 30Amps at up to 60V. The SBL1360 is targeted at designers of Industrial Automation systems, mobile robots, mechatronics, or any other medium power motor control application.

Roboteq introduces an intelligent controller capable of directly driving a brushed DC motor up to 120Amps at up to 50Volts. The LDC1450 is targeted at designers of Industrial Automation systems, mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, animatronics, or any other high power motor control application. The controller accepts commands from analog joystick, standard R/C radio, or RS232 interface, and can switch automatically from one mode to the othe...
