Robots

Application Description
Robots used for automating various jobs in industry are dependant on the transmission of electrical currents and signals, as well as other agents such as pressurized air, water or gases through the movable joints of the robot's arms. Due to the constantly increasing dynamics and complexity of the robots, the need for very light and compact models of rotary unions and slip rings is growing. In order to achieve a high positioning accuracy while using the smallest possible drive systems, the rotary unions for this purpose are optimised for minimal friction and for smallest slip stick effect. The rotary unions have leakage-free seals, because escaping mediums like water or other agents would present an unacceptable security risk.

Product Guide
Transmission of liquid and gaseous agents
ROTOPACK
Through the use of elastic contact seals, absolutely leakage-free rotary unions, which boast a particularly good ease of mobility due to special materials in the elastomer seals and friction reducing coatings.
Transmission of electrical currents and signals
Electrical Slip Rings
By way of radial or axial attachment of the grinding tracks, very compact slip rings can be built for the safe transmission of precise measurement signals or also for high welding currents of several hundred Amperes.
Transmission of electrical currents and other mediums
ROTOKOMBI
Space saving combinations of rotary unions with slip rings for the simultaneous safe transmission of various mediums and electrical currents and signals.
