    Keigan's motor modules for robot moving parts

    Keigan, based in Seika-cho, Kyoto Prefecture, has released the "Keigan Motor Separate Type," a motor module for moving parts such as joints and wheels of robots. The motor and controller parts can be separated, making it easier to miniaturize moving parts. The motor modules for the moving parts of the robot, such as joints and wheels, use dedicated software that is easy to understand visually with pictures and diagrams, and the movements can be set from a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Through wireless communication, a specific motor can be selected from a large number of motors and its movement can be controlled. Wireless communication between motors allows for easy interlocking. Since it makes little noise and is easy to repeat, it is easy to use in a variety of situations. In addition to robots, demand is expected to grow for research and prototype parts for automobiles and home appliances.
