1. High-Precision Flapper Diverter for Electronics Sortation
Utilizing the swivel module to actuate a diverting flapper on a high-speed small-parts conveyor line, routing delicate electronic components to different inspection tracks based on upstream machine vision data.
Problem SolvedDiverting lightweight, fragile electronic components safely and rapidly without impact damage, leveraging the CC shock absorbers at both ends and 0.1-degree repetition accuracy to precisely align the diverter arm at up to 1.5 Hz swivel frequency.

2. End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) Part Orientator for Pick-and-Place
Mounted on a multi-axis robotic arm, the semi-rotary drive is used to rotate small molded plastic or PCB components up to 180 degrees before inserting them into their final blister packaging.
Problem SolvedMinimizing robotic payload to maintain high cycle speeds. The lightweight 300 g wrought aluminium alloy housing and compact vane design provide sufficient torque while remaining within the 0.008 kgm² permissible mass moment of inertia, preventing robot arm overload.

3. Automated Rotary Escapement for Fastener Indexing
A rotary escapement mechanism integrated into an automated assembly machine, rotating continuously between defined stops to index and present small mechanical fasteners to a pneumatic press.
Problem SolvedNeeded a compact actuator capable of customizable variable angle adjustments up to 246 degrees with reliable PLC integration. The drive utilizes proximity switch position detection and handles continuous indexing within standard 2 to 10 bar factory air systems.
