Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...
Design refinements boost performance of self-aligning ball bushing while maintaining their error-correcting nature.
The integration of rotary and linear motions within a single actuation system has emerged as a transformative development in modern electromechanical engineering. Rotary-linear actuators combine the ...
The new ANCA FX Linear series machines are controlled from the AMD5x system, which includes the full touch-screen ANCA CNC Pad operator panel. It offers Windows 8 functionality (e.g., multi touch, ...
Using Beckhoff’s TwinCAT Cogging Compensation software, AL8000 linear motors can increase machine synchronization and decrease lag rate without hardware changes. With TwinCAT Cogging Compensation, ...
The modular machines envisioned by the Industry 4.0 initiative are rapidly making their way to factory floors, bringing with them a new level of flexibility for handling the complex processes needed ...
The world's largest ultrasonic assisted machine tool is coming to the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC, Sheffield, UK). The £1.8m DMU 340 G linear machine tool ...
