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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
