Why Choose Motion Control For Your Application? Programmable Control, Multi-Tasking, Cell Manufacturing. These manufacturing innovations make up the latest revolution in factory automation. The common thread is that they all incorporate motion control equipment.

A user of MC should:

understand the basic principles of MC;

know the advantages and disadvantages of various MC systems and;

determine whether MC is the appropriate solution for the application. What is Motion Control? Loosely defined, it is the use of a programmable computer controlled system to control a process involving mechanical motion. Whereas primitive motion systems have existed for thousands of years, MC represents a new era of industrial automation, offering performance benefits previously unattainable. The core principles and technologies of MC are relatively new, having only come into prominence during the past 15-20 years. Two recent developments have fostered the growth of MC in industry.

Firstly, the rapid decrease in cost and improvements in microprocessor-based technologies have improved the tools available to the design engineer to solve a myriad of applications relatively inexpensively and easily. Secondly, the increasing demands from industry for:

improved product quality, increased throughput, and just-in-time delivery have mandated continuous improvement in manufacturing techniques and quality control. As a result, MC penetration has grown significantly over the past 10 years in a variety of industries. Typical MC applications involve: material handling, dispensing, machine tools, inspection stations, robotics and injection molding.

Many analysts believe that less than 15% of cost- justifiable manufacturing applications (discrete and process) are currently employing motion control.

The 'Motion Control Made Simple' Textbook

We take great pride in our ability to provide effective system design and timely after-sales support. Part of this effort is providing high- value educational tools for both the novice and expert. Recently, we published 'Motion Control Made Simple', a single source guide to designing, choosing and supporting motion control products.

'Motion Control Made Simple' is 150 pages of design tips, technical descriptions, product comparisons and handy engineering formulae. Its impressive breadth covers controls, servo and stepper products, noise problems plus the common mechanical interfaces. The manual is user- friendly featuring an easy-to-read text supplemented with many charts and graphs. The cost of 'Motion Control Made Simple' is $US 45.00 per copy and can be requested through e-mail or by calling us directly.
