Making sense of real-time load measurement
The handling of dry bulk materials used to be a completely manual process, but it is now being increasingly automated in a drive to reduce both the costs and the risks of injury, while also increasing throughput and accuracy.
MEGATRON's MRB adjusters offer precise torques
MEGATRON's MRB series of compact panel encoders offer a wide range of detents and tactile torques.
How motor drive innovations are helping solve robotic movement design challenges
From surgical procedures to lifting thousands of kilos in manufacturing plants, robots simplify many aspects of our lives. And while the impact that robots have in our modern world may be obvious, have you ever wondered how robotic systems achieve such impressively precise, fast, and powerful motions?
Innovative motion solutions are supporting the latest trends in robotics
Rapidly growing markets for robot innovation include applications that enhance human health and wellbeing, such as bionics and robotic surgery.
Mitsubishi launches new vertical articulated robot
Mitsubishi Electric has launched the MELFA RV-12CRL vertical articulated robot, which offers 1,504 mm reach and 12 kg payload capacity.
Innovative medical markers capped to perfection
TorqSense transducers are playing a vital role in packing medical test kits at Axis-Shield in Dundee, which develops new diagnostic compounds that help with the early identification and management of critical illnesses.
The potential of AI in motors and drives
Computing Machinery and Intelligence, the seminal paper by Alun Turing, posed the question, “Can machines think?” Turing's research proved that a digital computer could simulate the behaviour of any other digital machine, given enough memory and time. Here, Marek Lukaszczyk, European and Middle East Marketing Manager at WEG, explains how this has led to an effective digital manufacturing environment in which the potential of Artificia...
Top ten torque tips
Driveshafts deliver power as a rotary force, and in most applications there is a need to know the amount of power in the system. But getting measurements from a turning shaft requires some engineering ingenuity.
Nervous system-driven prosthesis returns mobility to amputees
A newly developed surgical procedure from MIT has provided individuals with enhanced neural feedback from their residual limbs. As a result of this nervous system-driven prosthesis, seven patients have been able to walk more naturally and navigate obstacles more effectively.
Bota Systems unveils new force-torque sensor
Bota Systems has launched the PixONE, a through-hole sensor that integrates high-performance electronics within a compact, lightweight design.
