MOTION CONTROL NEWS

In this issue, motion control design choices (Build vs Buy), new single-axis ICs with profile generation and servo control, and how using a digital current loop will quiet step motor noise.

This paper looks at building vs buying a three axis PCB-based positioning motion controller. It examines the motion control design effort and cost.

MC58113 single-axis motion control ICs provide trajectory profile generation, programmable breakpoints, advanced performance trace, and many other motion control functions.

This paper details how a digital current loop will result in a significantly quieter, faster running, and lower temperature motor operation which is beneficial in many applications.

In this issue, we dig deep into feedforward and how it will improve your machine performance. That, and so much more!

Machine Design editor Bob Vavra talks with PMD's VP of Engineering & Strategy, Prabh Gowrisankaran, about our new revolutionary ultra-compact, PCB-mountable motion control drive.

Even if your PID settings are carefully optimized, the motion at the end effector is never perfect. This paper looks at feedforward and how it delivers accuracy and smoothness.

During this Tech Talk presented during Virtual Engineering Days, Prabh Gowrisankaran talks about the latest advancements and trends in motor drive design for automation and robotics equipment.
