Tabletop Robot Cell Production: Compact Motor with Built-in Low-Wiring Driver
Explaining the space-saving design of tabletop picking and inspection robots. Compact motors with built-in drivers that minimize internal wiring to the extreme.
In the field of "cell production methods" where assembly, inspection, and sorting of parts are performed, there has been a rapid increase in the introduction of "desktop robots" and "compact inspection robots" that can be installed in the limited space of workbenches. The biggest challenge in designing these small and desktop-sized robots is "securing space for control panels and the complexity of wiring." No matter how much the robot body is miniaturized, the motor drivers and control amplifiers for driving take up space, and the countless cables extending from them lead to risks of disconnection and increased assembly labor. The "SGM series (small brushless geared motors)" that we handle is a compact motor with an integrated driver that solves this problem. By integrating the drive driver circuit into the motor body, it eliminates the need for external driver installation space and achieves a simple wiring system that only connects the DC power supply and control signals. This contributes to the dramatic miniaturization and reduced wiring of desktop robots.
basic information
■ Key Points of Desktop Robot and Cell Automation - Control Panel-less and Reduced Wiring Design: To effectively utilize limited desktop space, a structure that eliminates external drivers and minimizes cable routing is required. - Maintenance-Free: In automated lines that operate continuously, a clean drive source that does not generate dust from brush wear and eliminates the hassle of regular replacements is necessary. ■ Features of Small Brushless Motors (SGM Series) - Ultimate Compact Design with Built-in Driver: Since the motor and driver are integrated, it is possible to house all control systems within the base of the robot or a small box. - Stable Rotation and Long Lifespan: The brushless structure provides high quietness and delivers stable performance over a long period in precise inspection and transport processes. - We conduct domestic inspection of all units from prototypes and small lots before delivery.
Price information
We have achieved an overwhelming low price that strongly promotes the replacement of conventional low-cost brushed motors with long-lasting brushless motors. Mass production on automated lines significantly contributes to cost reduction during mass production. Prices vary depending on the outer diameter size, drive method (internal/external), and gear ratio, so please request a quote for details, including prototypes and mass production lots.
