Motor/Wheels for AGVs and Mobile Robots

Image

To make Robot building faster and easier, Roboteq offers a line up of preconfigured and tuned integrated Motor/Gearbox/Wheels. These come as kits including motor and controller, or as a new line of motors with built-in controllers. 

A New Line of Integrated
Motors/Drives

Mix Roboteq’s advanced motion control technology and Nidec’s leadership in servo motors. The result is spacesaving units, incorporating motor, encoder, and controller that are ready to install and use within minutes into a multitude of Robotics and Industrial Automation application.

This new and growing product line features low-voltage/high-current, CANbus or EtherCAT fieldbuses, Scripting and STO Functional Safety.

Drives for Differential Steering Systems

Differential drives use a motor on each side of the robot to create the forward/reverse and steering motion. It is the simplest and most robust system for mobile robots and are the best suited for Roboteq's "One Drive - Two Motors" solution:

Safer

Dual channel control is inherently safer as both motors are managed at once. Telemetry data shows the complete robot’s behavior and both motors can be made to safely react when a fault is detected on the other motor, Certified Safe Torque Off (STO) ensures that the motors are only energized in safe conditions.

Smaller, Simpler, Cheaper

Roboteq's One Controller-Two Motors solution results in a more compact, simpler to assemble and wire, and less expensive robot.

Off-the-Shelf Solutions for Small and Large Robots

Two motor kits are available depending on the robot's size and maximum payload. Each have different size motor, gearbox and wheels with the capability of carrying and moving the maximum rated payload at speed up to 5m/s with a 48V supply.

Motors are equipped with a 4096 encoder for precision odemetry and smooth/quiet sinusoidal operation with Fied Oriented Control

Order as Preconfigured Kits
Tuned and Ready to Go

The motors may be ordered separately of part of kits including the FBL2360 dual channel Brushless DC motor controller,  a pair of motors/gearbox/wheels, cables and matching connectors. The motors are tuned and calibrated, to deliver a Plug and Play experience, saving days of guesswork.

The motors and controllers are matched and guaranteed to operate safely under any load or overload condition. Functional Safety is ensured via the STO (Safe Torque Off) capability of the motor controller. The motors can be ordered with an optional mechanical brake for added safety.
