Modularized robot technology for various specifications and applications that users can easily produce

Hollow Driving module that allows cables (or wires) to pass directly through the axis of rotation axis of robot arm which constructed with multiple modules.

 

Client / Market

• Robot manufacturer

 

Necessity of this Technology

• Cables had to be installed externally, which caused issues with appearance/safety.
• Cable/wire limits the range of movement/rotation of the robot.

 

Technical Differentiation

• Only the module with an issue can be taken out for inspection–easy maintenance/ repair.
• As an independent product, a module with motor, reducer, encoder, brake, and driver can be provided.

 

Excellence of Technology

• Simple design secured with application of the hollow driving module
• Development of dual arm robot hardware platform and controller, robot element technology, and driving component commercialization completed
• Serialization by driving capacity
• Reliability evaluation standard established and life test completed
