Together with Innotech and State of The Art Ltd., Antech Solutions works on the development of a lightweight robot and robot components. The robot, with a reach of 1 meter and a payload of about 4kg, will be suited for all sorts of handling and assembly tasks, but can also be active in the agricultural/food and health sectors. It is a highly flexible, easy to operate robotic arm that can be programmed via a mobile phone.

Plastic harmonic drive 
The main components of a robot arm are the joints with the gear system. Together we developed a plastic harmonic drive (strain wave) with a built-in brushless DC motor. The bearings are fully integrated into the joint structure. This not only saves weight but also saves costs. More over, it achieves an excellent performance.

The metal harmonic drive (strain wave gear) construction has been field-proven for several years in robots. Together we developed this successful metal drive into a full plastic version, using high-end plastics. This enables smaller dimensions as well as a price and weight reduction. Also, electronics, such as the motor controller, are developed in-house.
