Articulated robot dBOT

6-axisfor assemblymachining

Overview
The dBOT is a CNC-class precision industrial robot designed for machining, assembly and additive tasks. It provides machine-tool level stiffness and trajectory control with lifetime zero backlash and secondary encoders on all axes.

Positioning & concept
Combining machine-tool structural principles and a 6-axis robot kinematic, dBOT delivers repeatable pose and path accuracy suitable for demanding manufacturing processes. The platform supports full trajectory control and integration with industrial controllers.

Tasks & materials

• Precision machining (milling, grinding, finishing) on metallic and composite parts
• High-accuracy assembly and joining operations
• 3D printing and additive deposition for metals and composites
• Flexible use in multi-task cells: machining, additive, inspection, assembly

Key technology & components

• Secondary (output-side) ultra-resolution encoders on all 6 axes (optical) for enhanced trajectory accuracy
• Lifetime zero-backlash via pre-tensioned dual-drive configuration and beltless drive design
• In-house gear stages to raise natural frequencies and improve dynamic rigidity
• FEA-optimised cast-iron structure to minimise deflection under load
• dTRACK modular linear track: expandable reach, up to 5× stiffer than standard tracks, lifetime zero backlash

dBOT capabilities

• Full trajectory (pose and path) control with up to 3× improved accuracy versus standard robotic solutions
• Significant vibration reduction (up to 10× lower) and reduced cycle times in machining tasks
• Multiple configurations and models to match payload and reach requirements
