Robotic Delivery Vehicle
Challenge
A military equipment special machine builder had unique requirements for automated material handling equipment - robotic supply vehicle that could not use screw type EMAs due to load requirements and inherent shock loading conditions. They also determined an HPU wouldn’t work due to the mobility and energy efficiency they required for this robot.
Kyntronics Solution
- 18 total actuators (Tibia, Femur and Coxa) all-electric lifting actuators
- Ability to handle the high shock loading and vibration
- 2,000 lb. payload capacity
Customer Benefit
- Achieved the force density and durability of a hydraulic solution
- Provided a low mass and ease of system integration characteristics
- The valving inside the Kyntronics actuator allowed the actuators to hold a static load without consuming any power
Application Requirements
- Stroke: 6 - 8"
- Speed: 1.4 - 5.1 in/sec
- Force: 5,000 - 19,000 lbf
Industries
- Military/Defense
