Golf Pros Benefit from Servo Speed and Precision
The next generation of golf clubs for PGA touring professionals will be a better match to a pro-level swing, thanks to Yaskawa servo systems on a new generation of club testing robots from Automated Design Corporation. Past generations of robots could easily reproduce a duffer's swing, but couldn't deliver the unique combination of motions a touring pro brings to the tee. Sigma-7 servo systems from Yaskawa are the first to provide the right combination of speed, light weight, and power that will make new golf equipment designs possible.

00:00:58 realistic swings particularly that of a professional that other golf robots couldn't manufacture that couldn't create because they were just mechanically limited limited [Music] we can swing a golf club over 135 miles per hour lesson on par with about as fast as any pro can swing with our system it's all independence the arm the
00:01:30 wrist in the grip all operate independently the workhorse of the system is definitely the wrist motor but the grip worked harder than the arm I would say it's only got to go into 90 degrees or so it's got to do that in fractions of a second one of the things we like about you Stalin one of the reasons we went with them is you get a lot of bang for your buck out of the
00:01:59 motors pound-for-pound in terms of footprint I don't think you get torque more torque out of any other motors envious power here we have a very limited time from production which from nothing to a completed machine we're only caught in a matter of week with the Escala pickle earning the turn is Daffy the other things in that feature for us it also makes starting up
00:02:22 the Machine faster I don't have to spend three hours running through motion hook I think we have a strong reputation and that's the reason that huge fortune 500 companies will come to a small company like ours and they know that they'll get the product they want and the product they need and that's why we need strong vendors so that we can be on par with a larger company and maskawa allows us to
