News & Knowledge

This guide goes deeper than the surface-level comparisons you'll find elsewhere. We'll cover the physics behind each design, compare them across every dimension that matters to an engineer, and give you a practical framework for choosing the right topology for your application.

Discover how Physical AI is transforming Canadian healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and aerospace — and why precision motion hardware makes it possible.

Canada ranks 13th globally at 241 robots per 10,000 workers. See which sectors lag most and what's driving automation investment in 2026.

Physical AI refers to artificially intelligent systems that operate in the real world. These systems do not only compute and decide — they sense, move, and physically interact with their environment. Unlike software-only AI, Physical AI integrates algorithms, sensors, and precision motion hardware to execute autonomous action. In Canada’s automation sector, this convergence of AI and engineered motion systems is reshaping manufacturing, healthcare robotics, autonomous mining vehicles, inspection systems, and advanced research platforms.

Electromate Inc., a Canadian distributor of advanced mechatronic and robotic solutions, has been recognized as the 95th Best Workplace in Canada in 2026 by Great Place to Work. This recognition reflects Electromate’s ongoing commitment to building a workplace grounded in employee engagement, trust, and a clearly defined company culture.

Learn how spiral bevel gearboxes work, including typical ratios (1:1–6:1), efficiency (94–98%), backlash ranges, and key selection factors for right-angle power transmission.

Electromate has expanded its robotics portfolio to include Dobot’s educational robot lineup, now available to customers across Canada. This addition provides academic institutions, training centers, and research labs with access to a structured ecosystem of robotic platforms and accessories designed for teaching programming, automation, and mechatronics.

Electromate Inc. will host an upcoming Lunch & Learn seminar on May 14, 2026, in collaboration with maxon, offering design engineers and OEMs a focused session on Multi-axis Motion Systems & Robotics.

Electromate is a leading mechatronics and robotics supplier in Canada, providing the advanced motion components that make Physical AI possible. As a trusted Canadian source for high-performance mechatronics, Electromate supplies servo motors, frameless torque motors, motor drives, precision gearheads, integrated actuators, and robotic joints from top manufacturers. These components form the building blocks of any Physical AI or robotic system.

maxon has expanded its ECX PRIME brushless DC motor family with the ECX PRIME 22, a 22 mm diameter motor designed for applications requiring high torque, high speed, and compact integration. It targets precision-driven systems that require stable performance under varying loads.
