TwinSpin® successfully integrated into flight simulator joysticks
Over the past few years, SPINEA® has developed a specialised product for a high-tech company in the aerospace and defence industry. The high-precision TwinSpin® T-series gearboxes have been successfully integrated into the joysticks of special flight simulators. A specific reverse torque value and constant oscillation are the main parameters for this application,...
Certification extension for EY and EX servo motor series for explosive environments
Parker Electric Motion & Pneumatic Division (EMPD) is reinforcing its dedication to safety and performance in hazardous environments, aiming to fulfil customer expectations through the introduction of new certifications and enhancements to its EY and EX servo motor series. The EY servo motor series has attained CCC certification, confirming its compliance for...
Does your machine rely on precision motion coordination and a high number of axes?
The Trio 128-axis Flex-7 Flexible Machine Controller is capable of achieving EtherCAT update rates as low as 125us. Even when all 128 axes are in operation, it maintains update rates down to 2 ms. Additionally, the Flex-7 can also control a complete machine, powered by a 1.2GHz Quad Core 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 processor and comprehensive I/O slice integration....
Akribis New Compact Linear Positioning Stages Provide High Precision and Repeatability
If your automated application calls for point-to-point or high-speed positioning, it’s a safe bet that precision and compact size will also be significant concerns as you consider positioning mechanisms.
Advancing Exoskeleton Technology: Key Motion and Motor Design Considerations
In the ever-changing field of robotics and wearable technology, exoskeletons hold growing promise in several applications — revolutionizing human mobility and performance. The technology is most common today in selective physical rehab applications; but eventually, it could become ubiquitous in at-home-care and assisted-living environments — allowing users to...
SPINEA an excellent choice for outdoor robots
Robots for outdoor environments have created a huge opportunity for development in the areas of autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, orientation in space, and movement in challenging environments. Gearboxes from SPINEA® will be part of this process and progress. The steam and water-powered machines of the first stage of the Industrial Revolution simplified...
Remote robotic camera systems for the film and broadcast industry
SPINEA, s.r.o. has been supplying its reduction gearboxes for several years to Filmotechnic, a leader in the development of special camera systems for the film industry. Their camera systems have been used on many successful feature films such as Fast and furious 9, James Bond, Mission impossible, Transformers, Transporter, Avatar, Hobbits, Tomb raider, Star wars,...
Exoskeletons at Scale: Accelerating the Transition from R&D to Full-rate Production
The exoskeleton market is still in its infancy — but evolving quickly and ripe with opportunity. It’s a double-edged sword for OEMs who must identify the most impactful applications and crack the code on full-scale production, which presents a new set of challenges and considerations. Projects that seemed feasible during R&D and even LRIP can quickly become...
When the Motion is Lost
The aim of this article is to provide more detailed information about this parameter in TwinSpin® gears. Further on, we give short examples with different lost motion setups to show the differences between backlash and lost motion, and finally we mention something about the companion of lost motion - hysteresis.One of the most common questions about TwinSpin®...
