Precision Gears for Mobile Robotics
Mobile robotics is a key driver of automation – not least against the backdrop of rising cost pressures, a shortage of skilled workers, and the need for scalable production and logistics solutions.
It expands traditional automation systems with location-independent functions and opens up new possibilities in sectors such as intralogistics, construction, agriculture, and services. We’ll show you the role precision gearboxes play in this context and the requirements they must meet.
Precision gearboxes in mobile robotics must resolve a trade-off between performance and factors such as energy consumption, cost, scalability, installation space, and weight. Requirements vary significantly depending on the application: While systems like AGVs typically operate under controlled and highly predictable conditions, other mobile robots are often exposed to higher and more fluctuating loads. Gearboxes must therefore be tailored to the specific application profile.
