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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.

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 ...

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 ...

Motion control has become a fundamental part of industrial, off-road equipment and other automation applications from simple to mechatronic, and programming motion control has been simplified with the ...

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 ...

Guilbeault resigns from cabinet after Carney signs Alberta pipeline deal Weighing Canada’s fighter jet options: F-35 vs Gripen RCMP say no survivors in plane crash near Nanaimo, B.C. Eating Chicken ...
