Motion control technology is essential for moving parts or tools up and down, side to side, around an axis, or, alternatively, keeping parts in place. Here are four new motion control products.
Automotive OEMs and suppliers are using the simulator to evaluate new technologies. The hope is that the simulator can save time and money in the development of advanced driver safety systems.
If the cartographers at Rand McNally think they have a tough job keeping maps of states and countries up to date, they won’t get any sympathy from the scientists of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Their job? Map the entire universe.
For a product to be assembled successfully, it’s essential to move the right parts, to the right place, in the right orientation, at the right time. Motion control technology makes that happen. Here’s a sampling of the latest technology.
Simulated driving has its serious side and its fun side. On the serious side, the technology is regularly used in driver's education courses, as well as to monitor driver behavior, performance and attention, and evaluate advanced driver assistance systems.
Available in many configurations, pneumatic actuators remain essential workhorses of machine motion and increasingly are being made adaptable to the IIoT plant floor
Keeping an assembly process simple is always a smart approach to manufacturing any product. And one of the simplest ways to implement linear or rotary motion into an assembly process is with a pneumatic actuator.
