Motion-control architecture appears to be compact and simple. But in reality, the individual servo loops-current, velocity and position-have been traditionally shared between a drive and a separate ...

Hobby servos are great, but they’re in many ways not ideal for robotic applications. The good news is that [Adam] brings the latest version of his ServoProject, providing off-the-shelf servos with ...

Cost Series of 1, 2, and 3-axis Stand Alone Motion Control Systems! Van Nuys, CA — To complement the Optimal Engineering ...

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 ...

Motor controllers in general and especially closed-loop controllers have come a very long way in the past few years. Control flexibility, adaptability, and strategies that were only dreamed of or very ...

The new DX4 servo drive and MX servo motor series makes it faster and easier for OEMs to utilize the high-performance motion control available from Trio’s range of motion coordinators. The DX4 servo ...

The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

The project uses an Arduino to control a bank of four independent RC servos with a PC using a USB cable and a modular Arduino-python software stack. The device can be a great starting point for a ...

An industry shift to servo controls for backhoes was one equipment manufacturer JCB bought into. The softer pushing and reduced arm throws required on servo controls led to a reduction in operator ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

EtherCAT is an open, realtime, and deterministic Ethernet fieldbus standard widely regarded as one of the best industrial networks to date. One reason for its growing use is that it's several orders ...
