Electromate Inc. will host an upcoming Lunch & Learn seminar on May 14, 2026, in collaboration with maxon, offering design engineers and OEMs a focused session on Multi-axis Motion Systems & Robotics.
What Will You Learn?
This session is built to give attendees a clearer understanding of synchronization levels in multi-axis systems and the communication impact behind them.
It also covers the challenges of robotic applications, how the maxon High-Efficiency-Joint fits into those systems, and where maxon’s product portfolio supports robotics development.
Speaker Information
Dr. Urs Kafader, author of the book The selection of high-precision microdrives, is a specialist in motion control and robotic system design, with a focus on multi-axis architectures, integrated drive systems, and robotic joint technologies. His work centers on how motor, gearbox, encoder, and control elements interact within compact, high-performance systems, with particular emphasis on synchronization, communication, and system-level efficiency.
Through his role in developing and supporting maxon’s robotics solutions, he brings practical insight into the design challenges and trade-offs involved in building reliable, integrated motion systems for advanced automation applications.
Content will be presented with an emphasis on practical implementation, giving attendees insight into how component-level decisions affect overall system performance.
