Beckhoff’s AL8000 linear motors can now deliver greater accuracy and synchronization with the company’s new TwinCAT Cogging Compensation software. According to Beckhoff, this software enables linear ...

Bearings do some of the heavy lifting in linear motion systems. Rather than defaulting to familiar choices by picking a size ...

Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...

A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a ...

The integration of rotary and linear motions within a single actuation system has emerged as a transformative development in modern electromechanical engineering. Rotary-linear actuators combine the ...

The new ANCA FX Linear series machines are controlled from the AMD5x system, which includes the full touch-screen ANCA CNC Pad operator panel. It offers Windows 8 functionality (e.g., multi touch, ...

Sodick's MC430L and MC640 linear-motor-driven, high-speed machining centers are compact and require little floorspace. Both have 40,000-rpm spindles and 1-G axis-acceleration rates. Axis travels ...
