PI’s piezo flexure stages deliver ultra‑precise motion control for industrial and research applications. Learn more.

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 ...

When evaluating a motion control system, an integrated approach with hardware and software can be a consideration. More complexity can add to potential points of failure and increased integration ...

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...

Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional machinery.

Micronor Inc. has introduced what it claimsis the world's first commercially-available absolute Fiber Optic PositionSensor (FOPS). The new Model MR330 series position sensor offers 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 ...

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.

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.

Automated driving requires highly precise, reliable, and safe vehicle localization. Bosch has developed a vehicle motion and position sensor that allows automated vehicles to precisely determine their ...
