Electric Torque Machines (ETM) has introduced its transverse flux motor (TFM) technology to the robotics market, allowing OEMs to retain manufacturing control through a flexible partnership model. This technology addresses challenges in the robotics industry, including performance targets and cost reduction.

ETM's TFM decouples magnetic flux from electrical windings, providing up to 10x greater torque density than conventional motors. Founded in 2007 and acquired by Graco in 2020, ETM's licensing model allows OEMs to manufacture the motors within their platforms, accelerating time-to-market while maintaining control over proprietary designs.
