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.

English
You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
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).
