SPN Schwaben Präzision presents gearbox solutions for automation and industrial robotics
Short cycle times, robust technology, wear-free surfaces and compact designs have always been relevant for automation and robotics solutions. This year's Automatica trend topics include "Sustainable production" and "Digitalization and AI". SPN aims to meet these extensive requirements for gearbox technology in the most space-saving way possible and precisely tailored to the customer's needs.
The selection of the correct gearbox size, the optimum bearing of the axles and the lubrication and sealing system have an impact on the efficiency of the drives. By integrating the drives, both installation space and weight can be saved, which leads to improved efficiency of the overall system. Areas of application in difficult environmental conditions such as clean room requirements, low humidity or corrosion and acid resistance in battery or fuel cell production are taken into account when designing customized gearboxes from SPN.
Gearbox exhibits for automation
At this year's Automatica, SPN will be showcasing various gearbox solutions from the fields of robotics and automation. The solutions have been compiled in a newly designed industry flyer including a landing page and supplemented with information for field test monitoring with SPN-Drive Monitoring. Technical insights into gearing technology will also be available. Specifically for the robotics sector, SPN will show the public the advantages in terms of torsional backlash, rigidity and individual installation space optimizations that the gear and drive solutions offer.
Two manual axes for articulated robots and a swivel unit for automation solutions will be exhibited, with this year's main exhibit being the swiveling SPN manual axis. The kinematics of the manual axis correspond to those of axes 5 (swivel) and 6 (rotate) on an articulated robot. The trade fair exhibit is supplemented by components from SPN Drive Monitoring and shows the monitoring of field tests with the SPN Drive Monitoring Systems, including the evaluation of the measurement data, which is displayed on a dashboard.
The digital support and evaluation of field tests leads to faster and more comprehensive information about the field test and the series durability of the drives and enables a development process that is as resource-efficient as possible. The SPN Drive Monitoring Systems can also be used to analyze the real load data in a drivetrain before a transmission is developed. With the real load data, the size of the gearbox can be matched even more precisely to the application, resulting in cost and resource savings.
Another sustainable solution from SPN Schwaben Präzision is the SPN swivel unit. This replaces a pneumatic swivel unit in the automotive industry for clamping, gripping and transferring components. The electromechanical drive not only offers a wider range of functions, it also saves the process air and process energy required to operate the systems. Replacing pneumatic drives with electromechanical drives from SPN can make a significant contribution to reducing the process energy required.
