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 ...

Servo controllers commonly use traditional cascaded configurations in which a velocity loop is nested within a position loop. This configuration originated when current and velocity controllers were ...

A pivotal review in servo systems engineering underscores a significant leap in motor technologies and control strategies. This research encapsulates the critical advancements propelling precision and ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Controlling motors is a crucial element of automated manufacturing. One control method uses traditional “clang-bang” motor starters, which are essentially on-off switches for high currents. For ...

Humanoid robotics is gaining popularity, though a common misconception remains that it is complex and expensive. This system ...

ProSys is a premier manufacturer of manual, semiautomatic, and fully automatic equipment for filling Cartridges, Squeeze Tubes, Syringes and Rigid Containers. A global supplier of filling equipment ...
