Celebration of 1000 DASY Robots Sold

This milestone symbolizes the strong partnership between Stäubli and SPEAG and our shared commitment to excellence in instrumentation

Our robotics partner, Stäubli, organized a great party on the shore of lake Zurich to celebrate the milestone of 1000 robots sold to SPEAG. More importantly, it celebrates the successful 30-year partnership between two companies founded in the Zurich area.

Stäubli was founded in 1892 in Horgen, Switzerland, a city on lake Zurich that is today a 20-minute train ride away from SPEAG headquarters. Stäubli started by developing innovative machines for the weaving industry, and in 1982 it diversified into robotics.

SPEAG was founded as a spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich in 1994 to commercialize DASY, the first automated system to scan the electromagnetic near field in human phantoms for mobile phone compliance.

From the beginning, SPEAG reached out to Stäubli to supply robots for DASY. Stäubli’s precision robots were a natural fit to our need for accurate, repeatable positioning of our dosimetric probes, and working with Stäubli was in line with our “Swiss Made” philosophy.

Over the years, Stäubli robots have been central to the precision of SPEAG products, and this has helped earn SPEAG a position as market leader and trusted supplier of high-quality near field measurement equipment.

Now, nearly 30 years later, we celebrate our 1000th robot and more importantly an expanded portfolio of instrumentation for evaluation of wireless devices with respect to near-field exposure limits, which includes:

• • DASY8 Module SAR: specific absorption rate from 4 MHz to 10 GHz,
  • DASY8 Module mmWave: incident power density from 750 MHz to 110 GHz,
  • DASY8 Module WPT: wireless power transfer from 3 kHz to 10 MHz,
  • DASY 8 Module APD: absorbed power density from 10 to 34 GHz,
  • DASY 8 Module R&D: flexible scanning system using and SPARC or 3rd party probe,
  • DASY8 Module HAC-2019: hearing aid compatibility, and
  • DASY8^3D: automation of cSAR3D measurements.

Our sister company, ZMT Zurich MedTech AG uses Stäubli robots in two systems (MITS, and piX) for safety evaluation of patients with implantable medical devices during magnetic resonance imaging exposure.

Thank you to Stäubli for the nice evening and for a strong partnership that will continue for many years to come.
