We direct drive innovation in Delta robots

From the initial drawing up to production, Brom Mechatronics and Tecnotion have co-operated to select the best-fit motor. Four torque motors from Tecnotion are used in the 3 arms and in the tool center point of each delta robot. With the QTR motor in the tool center, the product can be rotated in a compact matter. The QTL motors and housing with connection to the robot are built as one.

The torque motors play an important role in increasing productivity and reducing costs, resulting in a better ROI for the customer. Watch the full story of how Brom used Tecnotion torque motors for the automation line to plant bulb flowers in pots.

With this kind of application, where precision and continuity are the main drivers, direct drive torque motors offer many advantages over other techniques. The most important of all is that torque motors do not need any mechanical transmission, like an expensive gearbox, and can be mounted directly on the arms of the robot. This results in higher precision, stiff tuning, high acceleration, and less maintenance. Also, the size of the robots could be reduced because of the small build-in space of the motors.
