SUMITOMO DRIVE TECHNOLOGIES:

PAVING THE WAY FOR A NEW ERA OF DYNAMICS WITH SYNAPTICON

When developing next-generation robotics solutions, companies are constantly looking for innovative ways to increase dynamic performance and precision. Sumitomo Drive Technologies, a global leader in advanced drive systems, has partnered with Synapticon to integrate our pioneering SOMANET Circulo technology, ushering in a new era of dynamic performance and advanced motion control. This collaboration underscores how advanced servo drive technology can redefine the capabilities of robots.

Overcoming challenges in high performance robotics

Sumitomo Drive Technologies was faced with the challenge of developing robotic applications that required exceptional dynamic performance, high power density and superior rigidity. Their goal was to create compact yet powerful drive solutions that would ensure precise and reliable operation in a range of demanding applications. This required a sophisticated approach to motion control and the selection of high performance servo drives.

Synapticon's SOMANET Circulo: Power and precision in motion

Synapticon's SOMANET Circulo servo drives were instrumental in enabling Sumitomo Drive Technologies to meet these critical requirements. The SOMANET Circulo is a highly integrated drive unit that offers an exceptional combination of features and is ideal for advanced robotic systems:
  • Unmatched power density: The SOMANET Circulo offers the highest power density on the market, enabling powerful performance in a compact form factor. This is crucial for the development of smaller, lighter and more agile robotic systems.
    Superior stiffness and precision: With a higher torsional stiffness than comparable servo drives, the SOMANET Circulo ensures precise movements and exact positioning, which is essential for demanding motion control applications.
  • Superior stiffness and precision: With a higher torsional stiffness than comparable servo drives, the SOMANET Circulo ensures precise movements and exact positioning, which is essential for demanding motion control applications.
  • High torque density: The actuator offers a high torque density that enables robust operation and the ability to handle substantial loads with exceptional control.
  • Integrated electronics and motor: The all-in-one design simplifies integration and reduces development time and complexity for robotics engineers.


A partnership for dynamic progress

Sebastian Markert, Department Manager for Global R&D at Sumitomo Drive Technologies, explains the importance of this collaboration: "We have to overcome certain challenges. We have to develop a highly dynamic, reliable and power-dense motor with the highest power density on the market and very high torsional stiffness. For this, we also needed electronics with the highest power density so that we can deliver all the torque with minimal internal power." This statement highlights how Synapticon's technology directly addresses Sumitomo's need for advanced servo drives that excel in demanding motion control scenarios.

Driving innovation in robotic motion control

The successful partnership between Sumitomo Drive Technologies and Synapticon illustrates how advanced servo drive and intelligent motion control solutions can drive innovation in the robotics industry. By utilizing Synapticon's cutting-edge technology, Sumitomo is redefining the possibilities of robotic dynamics and paving the way for a new generation of high-performance, compact and precise robotic systems. Synapticon is proud to be at the forefront of this technological advancement, helping leaders like Sumitomo shape the future of robotics.
