Feedforward control represents an essential strategy in modern motion systems, where anticipated disturbances and system dynamics are counteracted by pre-calculated control inputs. This proactive ...

Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems represent a transformative approach in capturing dynamic vehicle load data, enabling the evaluation of axle weights and load distributions as vehicles traverse sensors ...

Designers of conveyor systems and other motion-control systems have long been forced to choose productivity over flexibility. That is because conventional motion systems use a strictly mechanical ...

EtherCat®-based high performance motion controllers play a key role in precision automation of highly accurate handling and alignment applications, such as those in laser and materials processing, ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

For manufacturers dealing with high precision, granite-based, multi-axis motion systems, two primary choices exist. One option involves designing a motion system where the granite base becomes an ...

Accessibility of ultrafast lasers is increasing, with researchers, OEM tool builders and system integrators leveraging the power of these devices in a range of applications. Image Credit: PI (Physik ...

The key component in a motion system is the motor because it determines the design of the associated motion controller as well as the motor drive. From a power-management viewpoint, the important ...

This tactile testing demo shows a combination of XYZ Linear Translation Stages, high performance motion controllers, 6-DOF Hexapod and a force sensing voice coil ...

Atomic Motion Systems have announced their intentions to add HMD support (starting with the Oculus Rift) to their motion simulator platforms to create the ultimate in motion feedback. One of the many ...

SAN DIEGO, Calif.—In a move that could make virtual reality and virtual production techniques available to a much wider group of creators, Sony Electronics Inc. has launched a mobile motion capture ...
