Single-axis servo control has always been its own product category. You can think of it as the axis of economy where smaller product designs and easy-to-use software tools drive toward creating less expensive solutions that simplify integration.
This formula is alive and well today in new highly-integrated products, advanced-programming solutions, networking options and bundled solutions that focus on the power of one axis. The goal remains to carve out a niche that serves the unique needs of particular single-axis applications. But now the options include an ever-widening variety of product approaches, unique form factors and technologies that serve single-axis motion and, in some cases, machine control needs as well.

Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
