The new HDSA High Density Servo Actuator

Hubert Grosser Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit
Fraunhofer-Institut für Produktionstechnik und Automatisierung IPA

    AUTOMATICA 2008
    10-13 June 2008
    Neue Messe München
    Hall B2, Booth 538

    The EU project SMErobot presents a breakthrough in lightweight servo actuators for robotic applications. The new servo actuator achieves a very high power-to-weight ratio through the compact integration of new motor, brake and sensor components with the latest speed reducer technology from Harmonic Drive. At AUTOMATICA 2008, servo actuator prototypes will be demonstrated both on a test bench and also as a drive module in a lightweight robot wrist mounted on a fundamentally new kinematic robot featuring a novel concept that allows the affordable robot automation of challenging industrial applications. The servo actuator has been designed and integrated by ABB Robotics in collaboration with HDD Servo Motors, which has invented the motor, brake and capacitive encoder components of the actuator.

    Help

    Search / advanced search of the idw archives
    Combination of search terms

    You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

    Brackets

    You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

    Phrases

    Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

    Selection criteria

    You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

    If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
