Motion control systems, which normally control the position of actuator or stage, are at times given the task of providing both position and force control. These systems operate in a dual mode, in ...

Two Fast Plasma Positioning Control Coils (FPPCs) for maintaining stable plasma during the plasma heating experiments scheduled to begin in 2026, have been completed for JT-60SA—the world’s largest ...

A research team led by Professor Kaiji Sato (Robotics and Mechatronics Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology) revealed a method for designing with ease ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

With its L7 All Electric Palletizer, Top Tier has created a “hybrid” servo system by keeping standard AC motors, from SEW Eurodrive, but replacing Variable Frequency Drives with B&R Industrial ...

The EM 253 is a positioning expansion module for the Simatic S7-200 PLC for precise control of microsteppers and intelligent servo drives. A separate controller independently of the main CPU handles ...

The Resistive Joystick series is a family of low-profile potentiometric controllers providing multi-axis finger positioning control. Offered with 17 ergonomically-designed handles, the Resistive ...

Microchip’s LX34070 inductive position sensor aims to replace less accurate magnet-based designs for safety-critical EV motor positioning control. The IC provides differential outputs, fast sample ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced the automotive-grade ASM330LHH six-axis inertial sensor for super-high-resolution motion tracking in advanced vehicle navigation and telematics applications.
