With excellent support from Kim Roger Anderssen (Nordic Automation AS), we have successfully configured the Lenze i950 (55kw) drive for our 30kw (IPMSM) spindle from HSD Mechatronics. The spindle will be installed in ”PKM-1”, our unique parallel-link CNC.

Collaboration with Nordic Automation and Denso Europe

Møt oss på Smart Industri, Lillestrøm, 6.-8. mai, stand A2-008. Vi viser fram IRBCAM, multiakset plasmakutting med rotasjonsbord.

Hokarob is a Gold Sponsor of the 2025 @Alignracing Team. Can you spot the IRBCAM logo on the car? List of sponsors https://t.co/x7LaTE55oI #irbcam #robotics #robot #simulationsoftware #automation #manufacturing

Plasma cutting using IRBCAM and an industrial robot. Robotic machining in three easy steps,

Painting of dual drive carriages. These are the interfaces between the motors&gears and the linear actuators. Steady progress towards assembly. The next tweet will include a video showing the linear actuator motion.

Testing dual drive implementation, 6 motors, 3 axes, pretension. The goal is to create #backlashfree axes with load sharing for our PKM-1 #parallel #kinematic #robot.

Incoming #PKM frame. Actuators will be added next.

Inspection of the frame for the #ParallelKinematicMachine #PKM currently under development - Hokarob employees for scale!

Hokarob puts safety first, three employees completed safety course for T1 and T4 type trucks.

One of Hokarob's engineers receives the international #welding engineer diploma.

The control system for our PKMs is developed in parallel with the mechanical design by using a combination of 3D simulators and physical actuators. This video shows a #PKM we are working on with a #CNC workspace of 1.745m x 1m x 1m.
