maxon, a pioneering name in precision drive systems, has recently unveiled its newest product, the High Efficiency Joint 90 (HEJ90). This innovative drive system is engineered to cater to the rigorous demands of contemporary robotics, promising exceptional performance and reliability across various applications.
The HEJ90 features a fully encapsulated actuator that integrates essential subsystems such as electronics, motor, gearbox, and sensors within a single, durable unit. Its robust design, with an IP67 ingress rating for shock and water protection, equips it to endure challenging environments and continuous use, thus making it suitable for diverse robotics applications.
maxon will present the HEJ90 at booth #326 during the Robotics Summit & Expo, a leading event for those involved in the robotics industry. Scheduled for April 30 to May 1, 2025, the expo will be held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
Additionally, Alessandro Forino, who heads the robotic drive systems division at maxon, will conduct a presentation titled “Scaling Mobile Robotics with Modern Actuator Concepts” during the event. This session will take place on Wednesday, April 30 from 2:45 PM to 3:30 PM in room 257A, and will delve into the advancements in actuator designs for mobile robotics, focusing on reducing costs and complexity while maintaining superior performance.
The HEJ90’s notable features and advantages include:
High output powers and cooling: Engineered for high output capabilities and efficient cooling, the HEJ90 ensures peak performance, even in demanding scenarios.
Dynamic motions and high peak torques: This actuator is designed to facilitate dynamic movements and provide significant peak torques, making it ideal for tasks that require both precision and strength.
Efficiencies up to 86%: With a peak efficiency of up to 86%, the HEJ90 optimizes power conversion, resulting in reduced energy requirements and extended battery longevity.
Integrated electronics and joint output bearing: The all-in-one design of the HEJ90, which includes integrated electronics and a joint output bearing, simplifies the overall system integration process and promotes reliability.
Mobile autonomous robots: The actuator is well-suited for use in various types of mobile autonomous robots, such as humanoids, quadrupeds, and mobile manipulation systems.
Robustness and advanced control options:
The HEJ90’s robust construction and sophisticated control features guarantee extensive service life and precise planning and optimization of robotic systems. Available simulation models aid in accurate design and performance forecasting.
The Robotics Summit & Expo aims to congregate over 5,000 industry experts to highlight the latest innovations in motion control, AI, sensing technologies, software development, and humanoid robotics. The event will showcase more than 200 exhibitors, host 50 educational sessions, offer five keynote presentations, and provide hands-on demonstrations, making it an essential event for professionals shaping the future landscape of robotics. The Summit will feature networking opportunities, a Career Fair, a robotics development challenge, the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards Gala, and more.
Registration for the Robotics Summit & Expo is open.
