As a trend-setter in the future market of service and personnel robotics, SCHUNK and amtec robotics present the LWA light-weight arm with PowerCube technology at the SPS/ IPC/ DRIVES show. This show will take place in Nuernberg (Germany) from November 22nd. to November 24th, 2005. The weight-optimized structure of the arm is basically achieved by the use of the latest CFRP materials, which also ensure high rigidity.
The human-like 7 DOF light-weight arm is extremely versatile for numerous applications, and is suitable for the most varied fields in robotics: inspection systems, service robotics, man-machine interaction and use on mobile platforms are just some of its possible uses.
The use of hollow shaft drives allows cables to be run right up to the "wrist" of the arm. There are no visible cables and no interfering contours! The internally routed CAN bus and the open software architecture means that every kind of terminal device can be connected to and operated from the pan-tilt unit of the arm. Amtec robotics offers various possible combinations as standard, depending on the requirements of the application: from the servo-electric pan-tilt unit through the 2-finger parallel gripper to the force-moment sensor FTC or servo-electric gripping hand SGH.

For maximum flexibility, the light-weight arm can also be battery-operated. Control is done directly via PC or notebook (PCI or USB interface) – an external robot controller is not required.
Since 2003, amtec robotics has been part of the SCHUNK group as a competent partner. The innovative technology of the PowerCube modules already forms the basis of numerous applications in the fields of measuring and testing robotics, quality assurance, laboratory automation, sensor systems, service robotics and flexible robot technology.
