Extensive Support for In-House Production and Introduction of Robots
When deploying a robot, do you have design concerns or misgivings such as "I want to manufacture the robot in-house," "Commercial products are functionally over-engineered," or "I don't know how to select a motor for in-house production?"
In this page, Oriental Motor introduces the key points based on a demonstration unit actually produced by Oriental Motor.
In addition, related services for customers who are considering in-house production of robots will be introduced.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Axis ① - Arm swivel axis
<High Load Capacity and Rigidity> Hollow Rotary Actuator DGII series
To withstand increased load moments due to various arm postures,
uses high load and high rigidity table
Articulated robots generate a large load moment when gripping a workpiece that is far from the axis ①.
The DGII Series uses crossed roller bearings for the hollow output table to achieve a high permissible moment.
This allows the arm to be extended longer, contributing to an increased range of motion for the robot.

Simplify Power Cable Wiring
The power cables inside the robot are integrated into the base of the arm. The large diameter hollow hole (through-hole) realizes the complexity of wiring and piping, thus simplifying equipment design.
On-Board Equipment
Hollow Rotary Actuator
DGII Series
This is an integrated product of the hollow rotary table and αSTEP. High output power drive is possible due to the speed reduction mechanism inside the actuator.
Axis ② - Joint axis
[Lightweight, High Rigidity, Non-Backlash]
Gearheads CSG Series Package Type Light-Weight Model
Suppresses Arm Tip Misalignment for High-Precision Movement
Even a small misalignment at a joint close to axis ① may become large at the end of the arm, making it impossible to grasp the load accurately.
The CSG Series uses non-backlash gearheads to minimize misalignment and ensure accurate operation.
![[Image of Backlash and Robot Tip Misalignment]](/sites/default/files/image/solutions/casestudies/applications/robotsupport/robotsupport_21_en.webp)
Lightened Joint Axis for Increased Flexibility in Design
By reducing the weight of each joint axis, inertia is reduced and the specifications (torque and rigidity) of the mechanical components can be controlled.
The CSG Series is lightweight and at the same time highly rigid, allowing for direct mounting of loads.
No fastening parts are required, making the arm lighter and contributing to greater flexibility in design.
