Focus on cobots and humanoid robots
TQ-Group expands RoboDrive division
The electronics specialist and technology service provider TQ wants to expand its TQ-RoboDrive division. Its aim is to leverage potential in the growth markets of humanoid and collaborative robotics and industrial automation with its drive systems.
Sören Brüchmann as Head of RoboDrive and Robert Vogel as Sales & Business Development Manager will drive TQ-RoboDrive's strategy forward. Both are moving internally from the former Robotics business unit to TQ-RoboDrive. The business unit aims to triple its turnover within the next five years.
According to Robert Vogel, TQ's frameless servo motors are a firm favourite in the robotics industry: ‘They are not only the powerhouses that get humanoids, cobots and four-legged walking robots moving, but are also suitable for medical applications such as exoskeletons, surgical robots or laboratory technology as well as for industrial applications such as rotary and lifting units, precise positioning systems or laser measuring systems.’
In order to achieve the planned growth, TQ intends to expand its cooperation with the company's locations in the USA and China and shift its focus increasingly to series production. In addition, the focus in future will not only be on the sale of high-performance motors and complete assembly modules, but above all on the development and production of complete drive systems. Here, TQ can draw on decades of expertise as an EMS system supplier.
‘We pair our high-performance motors with suitable gearbox solutions and power electronics that are also developed and manufactured in-house,’ explains Sören Brüchmann. ‘This enables us to offer customers complete drive solutions that are customised to their specific requirements.’
