Miniaturized Galaxie® actuator: High-end performance for precision robotics
A frameless motor from the cyber® kit line small, combined with a miniaturized Galaxie® gearbox with a hollow shaft up to 35 mm in size – the new miniaturized Galaxie® actuator unites innovative mechatronic system components in a space-saving and integration-friendly design.
More precision and productivity
With its extremely high torsional rigidity, the miniaturized Galaxie® actuator – probably the most compact of its kind available today – enables high acceleration rates with less vibration and hence maximum productivity in the application. What’s more, it guarantees best-in-class precision – on the one hand, thanks to its true zero backlash and special dampening properties and on the other, through an additional encoder on the output side, which further improves control quality and precision too. At the same time, the high rigidity and power density of this modularly configurable actuator open up possibilities for downsizing the robot’s drive train, as a way to save space and weight or upgrade the application’s performance. Compared to other installation-compatible drive solutions currently on offer in the market, the large hollow shaft makes it easy to feed through cables or media supply lines. That significantly reduces the complexity of the motor-controller connection and prevents cable breakage during operation – for increased machine availability.
Safety integrated as standard
With its high torsional rigidity and exceptionally high emergency stop torque, the miniaturized Galaxie® actuator automatically provides crucial safety reserves. The integrated dual encoder system adds to this effect, creating system control redundancy, and is an important safety feature for axes, especially in medical robotics.
Miniaturized Galaxie® gearbox combinable with standard industrial motors too
Alongside the actuator solution on show at the upcoming exhibition, the miniaturized Galaxie® gearbox can also be used with standard industrial motors. Adapter plates and clamps are employed to connect them together so that, in theory, a perfect connection can be achieved for any motor. The miniaturized Galaxie® integrates quickly and easily into existing axes as a result. This solution is ideal wherever the overall length of the drive solution is not a key factor.
The new, miniaturized Galaxie® actuator – just perfect for surgical and high-precision robotics!
