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 ...

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 ...

The group created a physical AI-based vehicle state estimation system designed to track how electric vehicles behave in real ...

Recently I came across a simple infographic from Power Jack Motion that did a nice job of visualizing the difference between alternating current (ac) and direct current (dc) motors. This article will ...

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 Cueing Algorithms (MCAs) are central to the development of high-fidelity simulation systems, where they bridge the gap between real vehicle dynamics and the physical limitations of motion ...

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 ...

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 ...

The 18 XPlanar movers on the assembly machine built by Automation NTH travel over 18 motor tiles to present the blood test kits to the various reagent filling ...

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 ...
