1. Design for system. It is important to understand the accuracy requirements of the entire electromechanical system when specifying servo drives. The control system, position feedback sensing, the ...

This article discusses three of the trends that are driving the evolution of existing embedded motion control products and acting as a catalyst for new ones Embedded motion control systems use ...

Salient Motion, an aerospace and defense component supplier, has developed motion control systems for commercial aircraft ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As with nearly any actuation technology in industrial automation applications, there is no shortage of opinions around the use of electric or pneumatic motion control. These predilections tend to get ...

An electric driver is a system capable of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. Today’s technology, of course, allows highly sophisticated drives. The autonomous movement of machines ...

Interactive configurators, real-time data access, RFQ automation, expert-guided product selection and error prevention are ...

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 ...

For high-performance motion-control applications, the Motion Series PLUS (MS+) flat power/signal cables integrate six power conductors and 20 signal wires in a flat cable measuring 0.8" x 0.2". The ...

Successful designers will understand the key role played by receiver ICs, encoder signal cabling, terminations, and pc-board layout. Today's demanding industrial applications require rugged, reliable ...
