The latest technological standards: News from the Franz Morat Group

In modern medical technology, drive systems must meet the highest demands. In addition to strict safety and hygiene standards, they must also be compact enough to fit into the often limited space within medical devices. For example, to enable surgical robots to perform dynamic movements, a high power density with clever spatial arrangement is essential. Abrasive wear that could increase backlash is unacceptable – this is the only way to achieve the high precision required.

In collaboration with the wbk Institute of Production Science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Framo Morat has researched and tested an advanced manufacturing process for the efficient production of hybrid components made from fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP). The goal is to create lightweight, high-strength drive elements for industrial use.
