To operate a complete hydraulic robot consisting of actuators, valves, sensors, controllers, etc., a power source that generates and supplies hydraulic pressure is required, which is called the HPU (Hydraulic Power Unit). When used in general industries, it is efficient to install a fixed HPU in the factory and to use multiple robots by connecting hydraulic lines from a single HPU. However, if a mobile robot is to be configured, a mobile hydraulic power source is required, and a power source that increases size and efficiency for the robot’s application will have a significant impact on the robot’s usability. In general, it is common to customize and use the power source of a mobile robot for its intended use, and ensuring reliable performance also affects the performance of the entire robot.
KNR Systems develops and supplies mobile hydraulic power Unit mHPU and LHPU for robot purposes among HPUs that supply hydraulic power. The mobile hydraulic power unit is a device that supplies hydraulic pressure to power the hydraulic actuators and is compact for use in robotics and defense applications. It is compact and has sufficient flow rate and hydraulic pressure, so it can be mounted on mobile systems such as mobile robots, walking robots, and transport platforms, and has excellent functions that operate even when overturned by providing optional pressurized models.
