(Nanowerk News) Their very large workspaces, good mobility and high payload capacity allow cable-driven robots to meet high requirements. Developed by Fraunhofer IPA, the IPAnema cable-driven robot is ...

One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

In essence, without robust flexible cables, collaborative robots (cobots) and smart factory equipment would suffer frequent downtimes and failures, as standard cables cannot survive the dynamic ...
