Portescap, a global leader in micro-motion solutions for the robotics industry, has announced that it will be exhibiting at the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston from May 1-2, 2024.
The West Chester, Pa.-based company will exhibit at Booth 144 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Its team will show products for demanding robotics applications, including frameless motors and flat motors that can easily integrate with strain-wave gearing.
“Frameless motors bypass the use of a traditional housing with integrated bearings for direct integration into mechanical assemblies, enabling compactness, weight savings, and efficiency gains,” wrote Nicole Monaco, global marketing manager at Portescap. “Pairing flat motors with strain-wave gearing offers high reduction ratios, low backlash, and superior positional accuracy, offering exceptional torque and precise motion control for critical robotic applications.”
Founded in Switzerland in 1931, Portescap said its miniature motor technologies can support medical devices and various industrial applications such as aerospace. The company added that its brushless DC, brush DC, stepper can stack motors, disc magnet motors, and stepper linear actuators deliver motion in a compact package with high efficiency and low power consumption.
Portescap has manufacturing centers in the U.S. and India, and its product development network includes research and development centers in the U.S., China, India and Switzerland.
Portescap and Kollmorgen to discuss design for peak performance
Regal Rexnord acquired Portescap last year, and the company joined its Automation & Motion Control group. Kollmorgen, a fellow Regal Rexnord brand, will be exhibiting adjacent to Portescap at Booth 142 at the Robotics Summit & Expo.
Portescap and Kollmorgen will together present the topic: “Design for Peak Performance: Motion-Control System Selection in Next-Gen Robotics” on Wednesday, May 1, at 1:45 p.m. ET. Greg Harnsberger, senior manager for global industry marketing at Portescap, and Yoshi Umeno, industry manager at Kollmorgen, will discuss how to design robots for peak performance.
The speakers will discuss how to select the right motor, evaluate the latest innovations, and integrate technologies. They will also present real-world case studies on how motion control enables everything from surgical robotics to humanoids.
