Everyone is talking about automation. But the concept is by no means new. On the contrary. Even in ancient times, people dreamed of having machines do their work for them. Automation really took off in the late 18th century. The steam engine, assembly lines, digitalization, robotics, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence are among the most important transformation accelerators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automation with precision gears makes life easier for people<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nToday, the level of automation is rapidly increasing. Driving factors include the shortage of skilled labour, reshoring (bringing production capacities back home), and cost reduction, as well as constant striving for more efficiency and productivity, reduction of workloads, and technological progress. In the future, robot-assisted systems will find their way into more and more applications. Above all, simple, repetitive, time-consuming, and physically strenuous activities are being performed by robots and automation systems \u2013 whether in\u00a0medical technology, pharmaceuticals, food production, logistics, packaging technology, the automotive sector, mining or the offshore industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robots reduce the workload by performing the following tasks, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Repetitive, tiring activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Unergonomic tasks, such as overhead work<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Lifting and transport of heavy loads<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Dangerous tasks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Activities in unhealthy environments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Time-consuming tasks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Precision gears for production, everyday life, and health<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWe are the world market leader for robotic gears (market share of more than 60%) and understand automation as a tool that helps to make the future more pleasant for people, by increasing success rates, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Our Precision gears play a central role in this respect. For converting torque and speed, they are a central element in the drive train of machines, robots, and systems, where they have a major effect on their performance and efficiency. Thanks to automation, no one will have to work in hazardous environments or perform monotonous tasks in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How our precision gears help (a few examples):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Imaging processes:<\/strong>\u00a0The low backlash and high rigidity of our precision gears are decisive in producing high-quality and detailed body images. These images make it possible to identify tumours more quickly, for example, so treatment can start at an early stage.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Patient handling:<\/strong>\u00a0Automated patient handling systems carry out lifting, turning, and precise positioning of patients. This ensures optimal handling and provides relief for the clinic staff.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Surgical robots:<\/strong>\u00a0Our precision gears transfer the motions carried out by the surgeon with the joystick to the flexible robot arms on a 1-to-1 basis, which guarantees reliable positioning with precision to a hundredth of a millimetre. This makes it possible to execute even extremely small incisions with absolute precision. The result: increased patient safety and gentler treatment, thanks to automation.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Prostheses and exoskeletons:<\/strong>\u00a0Our precision gears literally help people get back on their feet. They are used in exoskeletons and prosthetic knee joints, restoring mobility to patients with motor impairments. This helps them to regain normality.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Service robots:<\/strong>\u00a0In restaurants, retail stores, and the health care sector, there is a great need for qualified staff, but the shortage of skilled labour continues to worsen. Automated solutions are an attractive alternative.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Warehouse logistics:<\/strong>\u00a0Labelling, packaging, palletizing, and picking are some of the everyday tasks involved in the shipping of goods. They are both monotonous and physically strenuous. Fully automated solutions based on our precision gears provide relief.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Cold storage:<\/strong>\u00a0Whether in food production or pharmaceuticals: Sensitive and perishable products have to be stored at very low temperatures. However, such extreme temperatures can have negative effects on the health of workers. That is why automation technology is commonly used in these areas.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Welding robots:<\/strong>\u00a0The high precision of our gears ensure pin-point positioning, within a hundredth of a millimetre, by welding robots and positioners \u2013 even in the case of complex geometrical structures. This guarantees optimal component quality and protects employees, since they are no longer exposed to hazards from toxic gases and vapours, burns and electric shock.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Drilling rigs:<\/strong>\u00a0Working on oil rigs is physically demanding and very dangerous. To protect employees, offshore drilling companies are increasingly using robots \u2013 which in many cases contain precision gears from Nabtesco.
\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Mining:<\/strong>\u00a0Working conditions in an underground environment are both harsh and dangerous, involving numerous risks. Automation with precision gears not only boosts productivity, but also assures employee safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
