Autonomous Transport Drive System for High-Value Medical Analysis Equipment
Medical Robotics OEM (Confidential)
The Challenge
A robotics OEM developing an autonomous transport platform for high-value medical analysis systems faced a drive system engineering challenge that no catalog solution could solve off the shelf. The application: an indoor autonomous mobile robot designed to transport laboratory analyzers valued at $80,000 to $300,000 per unit between laboratory stations in hospital and clinical lab environments. T…
The Solution
TelcoMotion's engineering team modeled the full operating envelope before specifying any components: traction force requirements at each floor transition, ramp-climb current profiles, steady-state corridor navigation torque, and the back-drive force requirement for a single-operator push-override. Drive Motor Selection: A custom-wound Kyneks BLDC motor with a 2-stage helical inline gearbox was sp…
