ABB Instrumentation motor and gear unit packages

ABB’s motor and gear unit packages enable robot integrators to create custom solutions for workpiece positioners, robot carriers, track motions, servo guns and indexing conveyers. The motor and gear units are designed to optimise cost efficiency and performance and to simplify integration and operation.

The units come in four different sizes, including a new extra-large motor (MU400) suitable for high-power applications such as turntables. The gear units are being offered in the same seven versions that are currently built into ABB’s positioners, including both MTD (for positioning) and MID (for interchange) units. To ensure that integrators building customised positioners can tune both motor and gear unit parameters in order to achieve improved motion performance in less time, the company has also introduced the RobotWare software tool, TuneMaster.
