Specialist Electronic Components and Systems for Robotics and Automation Projects
Working closely with our technology partners, APC supports the automation and robotics industry with the technical insight and supply of a wide range of electronic components and systems.
Designed to handle power, actuation, control, and command, our portfolio includes small integrated circuits, discrete components, large scale integrated components and embedded computing platforms and connectivity solutions. APC can support your industrial, agricultural, defence and aerospace robotics projects with technical insight, design-in support and access to the latest technologies.
High-Reliability Electronic Components for Robotics
Our technical sales team can help with the very building blocks of robotics. From power components that provide energy to power motors, sensors, and control units to microcontrollers, FPGAs (for high-speed processing) and actuation components that allow systems to perform physical movements and interactions. Our team can support your projects with expert advice and solutions tailored to your requirements.
Embedded Computing and Systems for Robotics and Automation
Embedded computing plays a critical role in robotics development, enabling precise control, real-time decision-making, and seamless communication. Our Systems team can offer technical insight on a wide range of solutions. From single-board computers that integrate processing power, memory, and interfaces into one board to System-on-Chip solutions that integrate multiple components (such as CPUs, GPUs, and memory) into a single chip.
Equally important is the time synchronisation of digital signals. Critically important in robotics, we offer systems that ensure systems operate cohesively, accurately, and efficiently for motion control, navigation, and real-time communication.
Electronic Test Solutions for Robotics
Developing robotics systems requires a wide range of electronic test equipment to ensure the performance, accuracy, and reliability of the components and overall design. Our Test Solutions team have a wide portfolio of test solutions to help with your robotics projects - from oscilloscopes with advanced triggering and analysis features for troubleshooting complex robotics systems to power analysers for evaluating efficiency and performance and electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing to ensure systems comply with regulatory standards and operate reliably in noisy environments – particularly those in safety-critical environments such as medical or military robots.
