Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional machinery.

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

For manufacturers dealing with high precision, granite-based, multi-axis motion systems, two primary choices exist. One option involves designing a motion system where the granite base becomes an ...
