Under the motto “We empower the next robotic revolution”, the WITTENSTEIN group will be presenting innovative solutions specifically for industrial and medical robotics at the upcoming automatica from June 24 to 27, 2025 in Munich (Hall 6, Booth 509). The focus there will be on backlash-free, torsionally rigid, miniaturized gearboxes and actuators from the Galaxie® product family, integration-friendly frameless motors from the cyber® kit line and the Resense GmbH joint venture’s portfolio of high-resolution HEX haptic sensors, which upgrade medical, service and industrial robots with an exceptionally precise sense of touch.
Nadine Hehn, Managing Director of WITTENSTEIN galaxie GmbH in Igersheim, has no doubt in her mind: “In the automation and robotics industry, issues like high precision and safety in medical and industrial robots will take center stage in the next few years along with miniaturization and digitalization. Our range of solutions for robotics is designed to specifically address these requirements.”
Galaxie®: Leading in performance and safety
The backlash-free Galaxie® drive systems are characterized by features such as extreme torque density, torsional rigidity and true zero backlash. The same applies to the miniaturized gearboxes and actuators: with their large hollow shaft and safety architecture, they are the perfect solution whenever maximum precision and safety are decisive, yet only limited space is available and low weight is a must – for example, in medical and precision robotics or high performance engineering.
cyber® kit line: Frameless servo motors for plug-and-play integration
High torque, small size, flexible integration – the frameless servo motors in the cyber® kit line product family leave nothing to be desired when it comes to high performance, highly integrated drive solutions for robotics. They can also be supplied with a small and a large hollow shaft – opening up countless possibilities to develop unique solutions for specific robotic applications.
HEX haptic sensors: Delicate sensitivity for medical, service and industrial robots
The haptic sensors in the HEX product family are ideal for upgrading medical, service and industrial robots with an exceptionally precise sense of touch. Developed by Resense GmbH, a WITTENSTEIN joint venture, these 6-axis force torque sensors offer high sample rates and resolutions. Objects can now be gripped as carefully as if they were raw eggs. Furthermore, the space-saving design allows integration even into compact grippers, a humanoid robot’s “little finger” or surgical instruments. The hollow shaft design additionally simplifies cable and conductor feedthroughs. The HEX8, currently the world’s smallest sensor of its kind, deserves special mention here.
