Challenges for Growth
We can do it
The parts and equipment for the physical operation of a robot are steadily evolving, and to be precise,
they are being optimized for robotic systems. First started with hydraulics, the operation of robots developed into the electric drive,
then to electric motors, gradually becoming specialized for robots.
Bugok Stainless Co., Ltd. is developing OOOO and OOOO, a typical example of an electric drive system that enables fast and precise movement,
while planning to introduce a variety of competitive products through collaborative research with the suppliers.
A servomotor is an intelligent motor capable of controlling position, speed, and torque, whereas conventional motors only rotate at a constant
speed. Thus, it is increasingly demanding precision, versatility, and convenience for its use and functions. Recently, the technical specifications of
servomotors have been updated by becoming small and lightweight, and obtaining higher efficiency and controllability, lower vibration and
low noise, as well as increased cooling efficiency sizes.
Domestic robot-related companies currently rely mostly on the import of expensive foreign motors. A robot researcher indicates that the domestic
robot industry started with system-oriented R & D, and the basic parts for robots such as motors did not comprise a significant proportion, which
resulted in a less-established robot motor in the industry with related companies being fairly small. Therefore, in consideration of the future
robot market, continuous investment and product development for robot motors are highly required.
While many robot motors developed by the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) are geared towards the service industry, motors with
an output high enough for industrial purposes are also being developed. In addition, efforts are needed to develop and commercialize
highly reliable robot motors to secure industrial competitiveness in robotic systems.
