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

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 ...

Feedforward control represents an essential strategy in modern motion systems, where anticipated disturbances and system dynamics are counteracted by pre-calculated control inputs. This proactive ...

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 ...

Motion-control systems provide greater control and accuracy for production. Laser-micromachining processes are useful when developing a prototype part. Once it comes time to mass-produce a product, ...

Thanks to hype in the popular media, the term “automation” tends to conjure images of robots, artificial intelligence and the cloud in the minds of most people. The root of most manufacturing ...

Designers of conveyor systems and other motion control systems have long been forced to choose productivity over flexibility. That is because conventional motion systems use a strictly mechanical ...

Detecting and measuring movement is an essential element for many industrial and commercial IoT applications – from lighting and security to assisted driving. Motion detection systems consist of a ...

Embedded motion controllers reduce multiple cycles of algorithm development, implementation, and testing to setting a few parameters and exporting the code to your own firmware What do self-driving ...

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 ...

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 ...
