maxon Lunch & Learn Seminar on May 14, 2026, on Multi-axis Motion Systems & Robotics

Electromate Inc. will host an upcoming Lunch & Learn seminar on May 14, 2026, in collaboration with maxon, offering design engineers and OEMs a focused session on Multi-axis Motion Systems & Robotics. 

What Will You Learn?

This session is built to give attendees a clearer understanding of synchronization levels in multi-axis systems and the communication impact behind them. 

It also covers the challenges of robotic applications, how the maxon High-Efficiency-Joint fits into those systems, and where maxon’s product portfolio supports robotics development. 

Speaker Information 

Dr. Urs Kafader, author of the book The selection of high-precision microdrives, is a specialist in motion control and robotic system design, with a focus on multi-axis architectures, integrated drive systems, and robotic joint technologies. His work centers on how motor, gearbox, encoder, and control elements interact within compact, high-performance systems, with particular emphasis on synchronization, communication, and system-level efficiency.  

Through his role in developing and supporting maxon’s robotics solutions, he brings practical insight into the design challenges and trade-offs involved in building reliable, integrated motion systems for advanced automation applications. 

Content will be presented with an emphasis on practical implementation, giving attendees insight into how component-level decisions affect overall system performance. 

Technical Focus Areas 

  • Synchronization in multi-axis systems 
  • Robotic joint application challenges 
  • Integrated drives 
  • Functional safety 
  • System-level design trade-offs in high-precision applications  
  • Examples of motion system architectures used in robotics and automation  

Format 

The event follows a Lunch & Learn format, combining a technical presentation with an informal setting that allows for direct engagement with Dr. Urs Kafader. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss specific design challenges and explore potential solutions in a collaborative environment. 

Audience 

This session is intended for: 

  • Design engineers working on motion control systems  
  • OEMs developing robotic or automated equipment
