EXO MODULAR MOTION / APPLICATION PATH
Instrumentation and Automation Motion
The first job is a clean mechanical path with known stops, locks, service positions, and failure modes. From there, EXO-HDW can carry position sensors, limit switches, cable management, and qualified drive interfaces. That creates a route from manual proof to assisted, powered, or eventually automated motion without pretending those states are interchangeable.
The mechanical configuration remains understandable even as controls are added. Its rail, carriage, force path, routing, limits, and locks keep their own identities and revision history.
Powered and automated builds add controls, guarding, emergency behavior, power-loss response, fault handling, and functional-safety work. They stay on a separate release track.
01 / DEFINE THE USEFUL MOTION
Start with the positions. Make the unknowns visible.
Send the available envelope, useful positions, target travel, moving mass, mounting surfaces, and the files you already have.
01 / TRAVEL
Where does it start and stop?
Record the useful positions, travel, clearances, and anything the mechanism cannot cross.
02 / LOAD
What moves with it?
Capture the moving mass, center of gravity, uneven loading, utilities, and user interaction.
03 / MOUNTING
What can carry the path?
Identify the structure, attachment zones, access points, and surfaces that must remain untouched.
04 / CONTROL
How does it move and stay put?
Separate the actuation path from the positive stops, locks, service position, and secondary retention.
05 / ENVIRONMENT
What will it live through?
Document water, dirt, vibration, heat, pinch access, cycle expectations, inspection, and replacement needs.
02 / THE SHARED SYSTEM
Five components. Five separate jobs.
A configured set is a reviewable starting point, not automatic approval. Actuated does not mean powered, and powered does not mean automated.
