Power, Flexibility, and Options for Intelligent Control-
Motion control solutions have
enjoyed a quantum leap forward in controller power, communications options, and overall software
sophistication over the past two decades. And now the beat goes on … with
new PC and
PLC-based motion controllers, competing motion networking technologies, and
programming options
ready to push performance barriers despite the highly diverse needs of motion
control applications.
Better, More Flexible and Effective Real-Time
Performance :
The heart of motion control applications is the processing-intensive, real-time
hardware and software that determine motion performance. The current emphasis on
reducing cost, size, streamlining system integration, and adding software
flexibility has resulted in controllers, drives, and motion ICs that are more
highly engineered and capable than ever before. But, of course, the challenge
for design engineers is evaluating and picking the “best of breed ” products
—given the wide range of hardware and software options available —that provides
the best value for specific applications.
COMPACT,ACCURATE,REPEATABLE
Precision
Muscle-
Precision motors and actuators apply the intelligence of real-time control to
the actual process being controlled —and ultimately the end product itself.
These products are indispensable to providing the kind of repeatable accuracies
and consistent performance that modern manufacturing applications require. The
trends in these products are straightforward —more speed, torque, and precision
packed into more compact designs, lower overall costs, streamlined user
integration efforts, and greater overall value.
