Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, constant-traverse speed for machine heads and slides, as well as tool and part-handling systems. A variety of ...

MIT researchers have devised new tech that can 3D print entire complex machines with moving parts in a matter of hours.

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...

Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

The cobot feeder includes a storage and retrieval assembly with a UR force- and power-limited robot pedestal, enclosed steel ...

The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries Electric linear actuators are increasingly preferred over hydraulic and ...

V-738 XY-stages are motorized linear stages driven by linear motors and used in many precision motion and laser machining industrial applications. https://www.pi-usa ...

Linear motion positioning stages are found in many applications from material handling and assembly to inspection and testing and employ many different technologies. Just looking at the different ...

When most engineers hear the term motor they most-naturally think of rotating arrangements such as brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper, or variable-frequency prime movers. But a motor doesn’t have to be ...

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

Piezoelectric motors can solve critical precision motion problems often better than competing technologies such as linear motors (https://www.pi-usa.us/en/tech-blog ...

V-738 XY-stages are motorized linear stages driven by linear motors and used in many precision motion and laser machining industrial applications. The XY stage shown above is driven by linear motors ...
