Industrial machines have either clutch or servo motors that are easily five times the size of a domestic’s motor, ... and 3D printed a servo-controlled gripper with a force sensor attached to it.

Industrial linear motors offer design engineers the possibility of constructing machines in new ways. Fast, simple, and flexible, linear motors are easy to install and in many cases come with ...

3. The linear motors are actuated by particularly compact and lightweight servo controller from LinMot that use ProfiNet interfaces. To reduce manual control, the motors are actuated via 12 ...

Based on an electronically controlled and programmable servo motor, electric grippers can be programmed to grip a part off center compared to the gripper's centerline. (Most vice-like grippers such as ...

A laser-sintered torso houses an ATxmega32E5 microcontroller and an ATmega328 microcontroller, two servo motors to actuate the wings, an inertial sensor, gyro/accelerometer/compass, two radio ...

SMAC’s new LPL80 line of electric linear moving coil actuators were designed for filling machines and come in the standard 80mm size.The actuators use a dc linear servo motor, replace air cylinders ...

“I’d really like to build a whole robot arm with force control/feedback. I thought I’d start with a gripper ... “To correlate servo inputs to grip force, ...

The gripper/forearm shows the most dramatic improvement from the previous versions, being simplified from 8 separate components to a single 3D printed part by using a compliant mechanism — that ...
