Rotate Axis Belt Drive

Challenge:
Robots overloaded with larger pickup tooling lost position accuracy, suffered stepper motor failures, and lacked fine rotational control.

Solution:
Designed and installed a 20:1 belt reduction drive system with dual synchronized stepper motors, multiplying torque and resolution.

Result:
Increased from 3,600 to 72,000 programmable positions with sub-degree rotational precision. Production capacity doubled.
