Push those #electronics out of the joint and you push them into external controllers - adding cabling, latency and failure modes.Modern joints have to host a stack of #safety functions - safe stopping, speed and position monitoring, #torque limiting, fault detection and more. Each demands silicon, isolation and routing that has to sit close to the motor to react fast enough to protect a human. A thicker joint forces designers to strip, relocate or compromise on that layer and compromised safety is the failure mode nobody talks about until #certification.Geometry is a safety strategy.The Litens #eAXActuator is built for this trade. A flat architecture collapses stack height without sacrificing output torque - freeing packaging volume for the safety electronics that today's standards demand.#Robotics #FunctionalSafety #Actuators #Litens #eAX Celebrating Canada Day, the Litens way!Our Canada Day BBQ brought employees together for an afternoon of great food, music, games, and plenty of ice cream.
