Harmonic Drive, a provider of precision motion control solutions, announced the release of its HPF series of hollow shaft gear units. Designed for heavy-duty industrial applications, these advanced gear units aim to offer high torque outputs and flexible installation options, making them ideal for use in demanding environments.

The HPF series hollow shaft gear units provide exceptional torque density and positional accuracy, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including robotics, packaging and material handling. They feature a high torque output, with maximum continuous torque ratings up to 737.7 Foot Pounds Force (1000 Nm) and maximum peak torque ratings up to 1,102.94 Foot Pounds Force (1500 Nm).

The unique hollow shaft design allows for easy integration and installation in tight spaces, while also allowing for the passage of cables, hoses and other mechanical parts through the gear unit. Additionally, the hollow shaft design provides high torsional rigidity, making it suitable for high-speed applications.

Robotics Summit & Expo (May 10-11) returns to Boston

Andrew Zucker, a mechatronics engineer at Harmonic Drive, will be speaking at the Robotics Summit on May 10, 2023 at 2 PM ET. Zucker’s session, “Simplification of Advanced Motion Control Using Integrated Servo Drives,” will explore how to simplify the design of a robotic joint without compromising the features that normally come at the cost of bulky cabling and electronics, like performance, reliability or advanced motion control features. 

Built with state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and materials, the HPF series gear units are durable and reliable even in the most demanding environments. They also feature low backlash and low noise operation, making them ideal for applications where precision and quiet operation are a must.

Features include:

  • Hollow Shaft:  0.98″ to 1.26″ (25mm to 32mm)
  • Available in 2 Frame Sizes
  • Peak Torque: 73.53 Foot Pounds Force to 147.06 Foot Pounds Force (100Nm to 200Nm)
  • Ratio: 11:1
  • Backlash <3 arc-min
  • Extra-large Cross Roller Output Bearing

Chipotle testing avocado processing robot in test kitchen

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
