As manufacturing industry continues to replace manual processes with automated versions, servo motors are replacing pneumatic and hydraulic systems (Fig. 1). It’s resulted in a rapid increase in, and ...

Toshiba is launching a modular servo drive reference model (RM) multi-channel motor control reference platform at this year’s Embedded World. This platform is designed for industry 4.0 where servo ...

1. Don't fear servos. There are many different levels of positioning and motor controls now. Some basic variable frequency drives can even be used to do what could have been done only with coordinated ...

A growing number of manufacturers are saving time and money by testing, diagnosing and even repairing servo motors in-house. We look at the expanded role of encoder test systems and present one ...

OPENdrive OD700 servo-drives for brushless motors are the latest new products from OSAI USA. These EtherCAT servo-drives integrate perfectly with OSAI’s OPENcontrol family. They complete the EtherCAT ...

To meet the needs of today’s advanced motion control applications, servo drives are getting smaller. However, the power requirements are far from following suit. These applications require powerful, ...

Brushless DC motors, and their associated drive electronics, tend to be expensive and complicated. [Ottoragam] was looking for a cheaper alternative and built this Brushed DC motor servo controller ...
