For savvy machine builders, distributed motion control is fast becoming the architecture of choice because it uses fewer system components, improves motion accuracy and throughput, and improves ...

Motion and motor controllers are such an integral part of machines and automation systems, they often get taken for granted. But new manufacturing and machine-building demands for more modular system ...

A look at how modern electric actuators combine mechanical innovation with digital control, enabling rapid product ...

When evaluating a motion control system, an integrated approach with hardware and software can be a consideration. More complexity can add to potential points of failure and increased integration ...

Gears provide two main functions in motion control systems. In power systems, they match the relatively low-speed, high-torque requirement of the load to the high-speed, low-torque, high-efficiency ...

It’s easy to take feedback devices for granted. However, the impact this seemingly minor component can have on a system’s ...

The design of an advanced energy-saving, inverterized motion control system requires designers to deploy various skill sets in order to be able to address the wide range of technical challenges needed ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

The result of partnering with TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. on the software side, the TMCM-303 and TMCM-310 3-axis controllers provide a complete motion control system in compact packages. The 80 ...
