Webinar: From Prototype to production: Gear Systems and Scalable Manufacturing for UAVs and Robotics
April 29 | 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
This webinar highlights the key attributes needed to transition from design to scalable production. The webinar covers how to select the right gear components or gearboxes based on factors such as noise, temperature, durability, weight, cost, and size, as well as the impact of gear profiles on performance.
It also explores manufacturing approaches—from manual to fully automated lines—and how volume, quality, and cost influence these choices. Material options, including various plastics, metals, and hybrid solutions, are discussed alongside off-the-shelf versus custom designs. Overall, the session provides a practical overview of the trade-offs required to achieve reliable, efficient, and scalable systems.
Speakers:
- Stephan Oberle, Director, R&D, IMS Gear
- Steve Hwang, Vice President Business Development, IMS Gear
