A golf robot for automating the world’s driving ranges!
The golf robot Range Picker is at the top of many golf clubs’ wish lists. However, Range Picker is already in use at clubs like PGA Frisco in Texas, Deer Walley Golf Range in Georgia, Seve Golf Center in Rotterdam and Troxhammar GK in Sweden. In Sweden, for instance, golf is the third most popular sport, and globally there are more than 60 million golfers. Therefore, the potential for Relox Robotics – the company behind Range Picker – is enormous. Read more
White Paper: Forms of closed loop stepper control.
Stepper motors are employed in a variety of applications across the engineering spectrum because they are inexpensive, simple to operate, and offer high torque at low speeds. However, stepper motors suffer from drawbacks such as missed steps, decreased torque at high speeds, resonances, and high power consumption. In order to mitigate these issues, Galil has three methods of closing the loop around a stepper motor: End point correction, closed loop microstepping, and driving the stepper motor as a 2-phase brushless motor.

DC motors in Ironhand® – the world’s first soft robotic muscle strengthening system for professional users
Ironhand’s® pioneering system has been developed to prevent and detect risks of repetitive strain injuries from grip-intensive tasks. The system combines neuroscience, mechatronics and robotics with unique digital functions and strengthens the user’s grip and endurance.
Intelligent light control to minimise waste
Fifty per cent. Pick a company at random and there is a high risk that much of their electricity consumption on lighting is wasted. Lamps are on even though nobody is there. The ‘last one out turns off the lights’ approach is a principle that has never worked anywhere. Read more
Scientist explains motor technology
The technology behind RoboDrive was originally designed for use in the space and for a number of years it has been used in a robot outside the ISS space station. In this video Manfred Schedl explains how the engine technology works as he originated and performed during his time at the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
RoboDrive multi-pole high torque motors for maximum torque and high precision – at the lowest possible weight and power loss. The motors are ideal for industries such as medical, aerospace, robotics and automation.
The application examples can provide guidance on how to benefit from RoboDrive. But there are of course more applications, or what do you think?

A Swedish contribution to a healthier world
Biopharmaceuticals are the future of the pharmaceutical industry. Groundbreaking progress is made every year, and pharmaceuticals tailored for our individual genetic conditions are believed not to be too farfetched.

In the middle of this revolution is the Swedish company Gyros AB, based in Uppsala. Practically every large pharmaceutical that develops and manufactures biopharmaceuticals is already using their so-called immunoassay platform, a system that analyses samples in pre-clinical and clinical trials. And with the introduction of the Gyrolab xPlore, the company has presented a product that lowers the threshold for even more labs around the globe to start using their revolutionary platform in the pursuit of alleviate and cure disease.
