Innovative mobile robots rely

on thin section bearings

Q-Bot is an innovative robot that spray insulation foam to the underside of suspended
floors. With this advanced solution, Q-Bot improves the health of buildings, reduces
energy usage and paves the way for a sustainable construction industry. In total, the
company uses 10 Kaydon bearings per robot. Key to the robot’s successful design are
