Archimedes Drive | Archimedes Drive: Driving Innovation in the Robotics Industry

Summary
IMSystems has created the Archimedes Drive (AD), a proprietary, patented and revolutionary speed reducer based on smooth, rolling contact by cylinders that solves the problems of existing speed reducers, all based on gear teeth: lack of performance for universal applicability (all axes, all robots), expensive manufacturing, lack of responsiveness, and dependency on Japanese suppliers.
Our primary targeted market is the industrial robotics market. Due to their high impact on industrial productivity, robotics companies are in dire need of ultra-precise, robust, lightweight, but still affordable speed reducers. We will strategically focus first on European robotics makers (e.g. ABB, Comau).With ABB as our likely launching customer and Linamar as our manufacturer (both investors in IMSystems), we have already established the right structure to set the company up for growth. With the AD, IMSystems aims to become the leader of speed reducer technologies for the global robotics market by 2035
