Tech Talk: Creating metal alternatives for EMI shielding
During this 20-minute Talk, learn about the fundamentals of EMI shielding, why conductive materials are good EMI shields, typical shielding requirements and more.
Safer, faster and more cost-effective cobots are already transforming major industries. Cobots are manufactured on a large scale to meet businesses growing demands. Safety and efficiency are key to the commercial success of cobots, yet the inertia of metal material solutions poses safety risks to workers and limits the speed of these devices. Engineering plastics as a lightweight alternative material solution, not only decrease safety risks but also offer significant product cost, efficiency and sustainability advantages.
High-quality polymers that are easily dropped into injection molding processes will enable manufacturers to achieve potential cost savings of up to 30% – as this method of manufacturing inherently supports non-linear cost scaling. At the same time, cobots are made of numerous small or intricate components with varying durability, flexibility, dimensional stability, and thermal and electrical endurance requirements. All these components require materials that are durable, lightweight and sustainable.
Thermoplastics empower cobot manufacturers to lightweight all key device components. These materials also make cobots safer for human collaboration and enable devices to operate faster by improving actuation energy efficiency.
