CONTROLLING HEXAPOD 6-DOF ALIGNMENT ROBOTS VIA ETHERCAT
The latest generation of PI hexapod controllers with integrated EtherCAT interface now make it very easy for users to integrate hexapods into automation systems without the need for to perform challenging kinematic transformations.
RESOLUTION, ACCURACY, AND PRECISION OF ENCODERS
When you’re choosing an encoder for a motion control system, you’ll be
faced with numerous technical terms. The amount of data available can be
overwhelming. Which critical terms should you focus on first, and which
can be deferred? This paper looks at three important concepts that deserve your attention: resolution, accuracy and precision.
MAKE ROBOTICS A REALITY IN YOUR DC
Demanding throughput pressures, labor challenges and more. Distribution centers (DCs) need a solution to keep up with explosive e-commerce growth. Are robots the answer? This On The Move webinar explores a new generation of smart, increasingly capable robotics solutions that have emerged as key productivity enablers in the DC.
DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, AND DISTRIBUTION OF MOTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT FOR ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION
At MMP, we are actively engaged in the design, manufacturing and distribution of standard and custom motion control equipment, including fully reversible brushed and brushless DC gearmotors, motors with failsafe brakes and servomotors with feedback devices such as analog tachometers and encoders. We also provide fully-sealed IP-65 motor speed controls @ 12/24/48 VDC, AC~DC power supplies and a wide variety of 12/24 VDC linear actuators. If you need a sample right away, we can be a project saving convenience for you. We offer a wide variety of finished goods, directly from stock and available for your immediate prototype needs.
HOW 6-DOF ALIGNMENT SYSTEMS CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUCCESS OF THE EVENT HORIZON TELESCOPE
PI’s 6-DOF alignment technology, integrated in many telescopes, is part of this success story. PI precision motion components (piezo mechanisms) were also involved, when the first merger of black holes was detected by the LIGO collaboration in February 2016, proving the existence of gravitational waves.
MAXON MOTOR - FORMULAE HANDBOOK
The extensive collection with illustrations and descriptions includes formulas, terminology and explanations of the calculations that are relevant for drive systems. A flow chart provides assistance in selecting the right drive for each purpose. Author: Jan Braun; 60 pages.
As many organizations move to build their automation capabilities, recent survey results suggest that certain best practices will differentiate successful efforts from others.
