Robotics and Automation

Do you assemble, transport and process components or complete devices? Industrial robots and cobots have long been an established part of many production plants, either autonomously or in conjunction with humans. They enable work processes to achieve high levels of repeatability for simple or complex tasks. Other areas of life are also gradually being equipped with articulated robots or even humanoids too, for instance in agriculture, healthcare, hospitality, service and exploration.

The quality of movements in the area of robotics and automation also depends on the weight and properties of the integrated components. KEB provides customers with high-quality products to make the end products safe and reliable. Where simple, standard, fail-safe brakes are not enough, complex individual solutions can be developed, individually tailored to the customer’s concept.
 

• High repeatability and positioning accuracy
• State-of-the-art development procedures
• Standard and individual solutions
• Reliable throughout the entire service life

In this area, the installation conditions for the individual components are just as individual and varied as the different types of robot. With industrial robots, the safety brake is usually positioned on the outside on the corresponding servo motor. On the other hand, in the case of collaborative robots and articulated robots, space is very limited as the fail-safe brake is often built into the articulated arms. KEB adjusts the brake according to the installation conditions so that the temperature range, holding torque and dimensions match the customer’s specifications and required service life.
