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 ...

Motion control has come a heck of a long way since the days of clumsy virtual reality headsets. In fact, we seem to be edging ever closer to that scene in Minority Report where Tom Cruise flicks a ...

Today's machine builders need expertly engineered, application-appropriate components and systems to confidently design ...

Discovering that you needed a motion control shoe was once like finding out that you had to wear braces on your teeth. In the long run, they would be good for you, but unlike, say, racing flats, they ...

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 ...

Since 1985 ACS Motion Control has developed and manufactured advanced multi-axis motion controllers and integrated control modules. Our main focus has been ease of use while maintaining the power and ...

Recent advances in motion control include high-performance servo drives, AI integration, and enhanced communication protocols like EtherCAT. These advances are designed to improve precision, ...

Motion control photography allows for stunning imagery, although commercial robotic MoCo rigs are hardly affordable. But what is money? Scratch-built from what used to be mechatronic junk and a hacked ...

For positioning large loads, electrohydraulics can be a better choice than electromechanical motion systems. Some machines coordinate both electrohydraulic and electromechanical controls to gain the ...
