Autonomous Ground Vehicles & Autonomous Mobile Robot Subsystems
In logistics and warehouse automation, Electromate supports AGV and AMR technologies that help reduce unnecessary material transportation costs. These solutions contribute to more efficient, cost-effective, and responsive operations.
As market requirements shift, demands for speed, positioning accuracy, and extended service life for AGVs and AMRs continue to grow. Electromate addresses these needs by offering compact, durable designs that handle heavy loads efficiently while saving space. We prioritize selecting the right motor technology, bearings, brakes, encoders, and advanced gearheads to enhance performance while keeping costs under control.
Powered wheel hubs are essential for AGV and AMR functionality, available in both discrete (off-wheel) and integrated (in-wheel) configurations. Electromate offers solutions for both, utilizing frameless motor technology to enable seamless, efficient designs. We customize each solution based on factors such as load capacity, wheel type, environmental conditions, and shock impact for optimal performance.
Safety is crucial in AGV design. Electromate follows Safety Category 3 standards (EN ISO 13849-1) and integrates Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality to ensure motors safely transition to a no-torque state during emergency stops and prevent unintentional restarts.
Electromate provides custom solutions to maximize the efficiency of wheel hubs. Our team offers a range of options, from standard planetary gearhead and housed motor setups to custom frameless motor designs, all tailored to meet specific needs without increasing costs.
