In the last few years, the use of electric servo technology has expanded rapidly into applications that have traditionally been deprived of the benefits of high-performance motion control.

With a capital spending recovery on the horizon, the outlook for makers of servo drives is turning up, according to a study released today by ARC Advisory Group (www.arcweb.com), Dedham, Mass.

Advances in motion control technology can help reduce the size and footprint of automatic guided vehicles, while also making them more efficient. Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) are as diverse as the ...

The automation engineers of the 1960s would look with envy at the servo technology in use today. Small, precise, and, above all, electric, they are a reflection of the compactness of the semiconductor ...
