Patents by Inventor Matthias Fürstenberger

Matthias Fürstenberger has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Robot arm with at least one joint torque sensor
    Patent number: 11267133
    Abstract: A robot arm has a transmission output-side mating running surface on which a dynamic contact seal that seals off the transmission casing in a lubricant-tight manner is seated. A gap is determined by a main bearing arrangement between an upstream link and a downstream link, to which an output flange of a joint torque sensor is coupled, is sealed off by means of a further dynamic seal, with the objective of increasing the accuracy of the torque measurement by optimizing the secondary force flows.
