This week, we had the great pleasure of welcoming members of the marketing team from our parent company, MinebeaMitsumi, all the way from their headquarters in Japan to our Novi, MI office!

Sitting down face-to-face was an invaluable opportunity for the NMB Technologies Corp., a MinebeaMitsumi Group company, marketing team. Together, we successfully aligned on this year’s marketing goals, fine-tuned our global strategies, and delved into the potential of emerging markets.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting our visiting colleagues from the MinebeaMitsumi Marketing team. The energy and synergy in the room were inspiring, and we look forward to the incredible success we will bring together this year!

The real test of a force sensor isn’t the peak reading. It’s what happens when the load comes off.

That’s hysteresis, and it’s one of the biggest factors working against force sensor repeatability. At NMB Technologies Corp., a MinebeaMitsumi Group company, we just added a new Technology Comparison section to the engineering page for Mitsumi's MMS101 6-axis Force/Torque Sensor, breaking down why MEMS Piezoresistive (PRT) technology changes the equation.

Here’s what sets it apart 📈

• Exceptionally high gauge factor, delivering high-output signals with minimal strain on the flexural membrane

• Significantly less physical deflection is required to measure force

• Less deflection means inherently lower hysteresis, a critical factor for maximizing repeatability

• Foil strain gauges remain the industry standard for high-capacity, rugged applications, but MEMS technology pulls ahead wherever ultra-low hysteresis and high sensitivity are the priority

For robotics and automation applications, that distinction isn’t academic. It’s the difference between data you can trust and data you must compensate for.

Drones and UAVs pack more electronics into tighter spaces with every generation, and all of that power generates heat. Left unmanaged, that heat quietly drains battery life, throttles performance, and shortens the lifespan of the components your customers depend on.

At NMB Technologies Corp., a MinebeaMitsumi Group company, we build fans and air movers engineered specifically for flight. As a precision robotics components manufacturer, here’s what our lineup delivers:

• Lightweight construction that protects flight time instead of eating into it

• Dual ball bearings built for the vibration and stress of real flight, not just lab testing

• Ingress protection against dust and water for missions from agriculture to construction to public safety

• Reliable performance at operating temperatures up to 85°C

• Aluminum casing and dual fusion bearings on select models, for added durability and faster heat dissipation

From flight controllers, battery packs, and chargers to drive actuators, lens defogging, and LiDAR or camera payloads, precise UAV cooling is what keeps your platform in the air and your customers coming back. That’s what drone thermal management should look like: engineered for reliability, not just airflow.

Chicago, it’s been a great week!

NMB Technologies Corp., a MinebeaMitsumi Group company, would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our booth at Automate 2026. Four days of meaningful conversations with the engineers, designers, and builders who are defining what robotics can achieve, we couldn’t ask for more.

We hope our Humanoid Robot and Robotic Hand displays sparked some ideas about how the components we manufacture, frameless BLDC motors, thin-section ball bearings, strain gauge force sensors, high-torque micro actuators, and more, can support your next project or application.

The show may be over, but the conversation doesn’t have to be. Please reach out to our team and let’s explore what’s possible together 👉 https://nmbtc.com/about/local-office-locations/

It’s the final day of Automate 2026, and Booth #12048 is still worth the walk!

Before the show wraps up, NMB Technologies Corp., a MinebeaMitsumi Group company, invites you to stop by and explore both of our displays one last time:

• Humanoid Robot Display: Featuring our frameless BLDC motors, thin-section ball bearings, and strain gauge force sensors, we engineer to power humanoid joints, enable precise motion control, and support safe, accurate task ex*****on.

• Robotic Hand Display: Combining precision-built finger modules into a high-performance robotic hand, with specs like 200N gripping force, sub-second open/close speed, and fingertip sensing.

If you’re designing, building, or sourcing components for your next robotics application, our team is here today and ready to discuss how we can meet your specific needs.

Don’t leave Chicago without stopping by. See you at Booth #12048.

One more full day at Automate 2026, so let’s make it count!

Today at Booth #12048, NMB Technologies Corp., a MinebeaMitsumi Group company, is shining a light on two more critical components featured in our Humanoid Robot display: our Thin Section Ball Bearings and Force Sensors.

• Thin Section Ball Bearings: Slim, rigid, and lightweight, these bearings are purpose-built for humanoid applications. They support both rotary and linear actuators, reducing friction throughout joint mechanisms. With proprietary grease and steel formulations, they’re built for durability and backed by ultra-precision machining technology at 11 manufacturing sites in 7 countries.

• Force Sensors: Accuracy and safety in humanoid robotics depend on knowing exactly how much force is being applied. Our custom force sensor designs handle high-load joint applications, while our MEMS 6-axis force sensors tackle delicate, precision touch tasks - together covering the full spectrum of humanoid motion requirements.

Only two days left. Come explore both displays while you can!

Day 2 at Automate 2026, and today we’re talking about what moves a humanoid!

NMB Technologies Corp., a MinebeaMitsumi Group company, is highlighting the Frameless BLDC Motors featured in our Humanoid Robot display at Booth #12048

Why frameless? Direct integration means no mechanical transmission device, fewer parts, and a smaller, more reliable system overall.

Our Frameless BLDC Motor lineup includes four stator/rotor kit sizes:

• Ø 50mm: Small and compact with high torque density; ideal for tight assembly spaces
• Ø 85mm: Excellent torque density with hollow-shaft capability
• Ø 130mm: Built for wide-ranging, demanding applications; up to 3,500mNm of output torque

All rated up to 48V, with efficiency reaching up to 92%, and all designed to replace heavier, less efficient hydraulic systems.

Stop by Booth #12048 and see how they fit into the bigger picture!
