Motion-control architecture appears to be compact and simple. But in reality, the individual servo loops-current, velocity and position-have been traditionally shared between a drive and a separate ...

Kpower Servo, a manufacturer of precision motion control systems, today announced the expansion of its UAV motion solution portfolio to address increasing global demand for high-efficiency drone power ...

Kollmorgen has expanded its Essentials portfolio with the launch of an 8-axis variant of its PCMM2G programmable motion ...

From single-cable systems to energy-harvesting encoders, new feedback device features improve accuracy, reduce downtime and accelerate machine commissioning. • Multi-turn absolute feedback via energy ...

Hobby servos are great, but they’re in many ways not ideal for robotic applications. The good news is that [Adam] brings the latest version of his ServoProject, providing off-the-shelf servos with ...

Variable-speed pump drive technology that matches pressure supply to demand is creating the ability for energy-efficient hydraulics to produce energy savings in the range of 30 percent to 80 percent.

Servos have played a key role in shaping the landscape of motion control systems, enabling new levels of accuracy, precision and dynamism. With cycle times measured in microseconds and the ability to ...

As manufacturing industry continues to replace manual processes with automated versions, servo motors are replacing pneumatic and hydraulic systems (Fig. 1). It’s resulted in a rapid increase in, and ...

Any aviation buff is well aware of the Wright Brothers’ role in the history of flight. But it’s likely that many can’t identify the Wright’s seminal contribution: aerodynamic control. When their plane ...

As manufacturers expand their use of robotics, cobots and connected production systems, motion control components are becoming increasingly important to flexible automation design.
