Avoid the mistake of buying axes you don’t even need
Traditional, tried-and-true SCARA robots remain a very popular solution for palletizing and tray packing applications. However, their typical design configuration features four axes consisting of two rotary axes and one lifting swivel unit which is generally not needed for most palletizing … [Read more...]
How To Specify Couplings For Servo Applications
Having trouble choosing the correct coupling style? Understanding application requirements with regard to factors such as torque, stiffness, rpm values and shaft misalignment details will easily narrow the suitable choices. A good place to start when researching coupling choices is to have a … [Read more...]
How to Select a Brushless DC Motor
If an application requires high speed, quiet operation, low EMI and longevity, then brushless DC technology (BLDC) might be what you’re looking for in a motion solution. While Brushless DC motors have an overwhelming number of advantages, there are also a few counterpoints to be aware of before … [Read more...]
