Today, we shall talk about how [Adam Bäckström] took a DS3225 servo and rebuilt it to improve its accuracy, then built a high-precision robot arm with those modified servos to show just how much of an ...

Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C from Electromate feature BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both encoders. The dual encoders are incorporated in essentially the same package size as ...

The 1FK7 servo motor from Siemens is developed with field-replaceable encoders that make for quick and easy on-site service with no special tools or recalibration required. Automation World covers the ...

Targeting brush motors running at less than 100W with quadrature encoders, the 3C20 digital-motion controller claims a 32-bit or greater precision in position, velocity and acceleration, and jerk ...

In an increasingly virtual world, the ability to simulate touch provides powerful advantages, such as potentially allowing an online shopper to, “feel” a shirt fabric. Enter the discipline of haptics, ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

How do you make things move? You add in a motor that converts electrical energy into motion. That’s a simple idea, but how do you know where the motor is? That’s where the servo motor comes in. By ...

The Rock-Tenn paperboard mill in Aurora, Ill., automated the positioning and tensioning of belts on its conveyor system with low-cost motors and drives paired with absolute encoders. When the ...
