Synthesis of k
th
order fault–tolerant kinematically redundant manipulator designs using relative kinematic isotropy

Fault tolerance has become an essential capability in manipulator design methodologies as robotic manipulation systems are more frequently employed in hazardous environments and on geometrically complex or heavy duty industrial operations, where mechanical joint failures are likely to occur. This work focuses on the development of a redundant manipulator design methodology aimed at minimising the ...

Heavy Duty Brushless Resolvers

Harowe's frameless resolver generate speed and position data for Robotic, machine tool and aerospace servo applications, as well as commutating brushless servo motors. The frameless construction simplifies mounting mechanics because the rotor mounts directly onto the motor shaft and the stator housing mounts directly onto the motor end bell
