As servo drive technology evolves, manufacturers face inevitable product lifecycle changes that require proactive evaluation of aging motion control systems before replacement parts become scarce and ...

SIEMENS reports that its SINAMICS S210 “next-generation” servo-drive system brings a new level of high-dynamic, motion control in mid-range operation to stand-alone and multi-axis machines. Recently ...

Figure 2: By using smaller servo drives, robots have less dead weight to deal with, reducing their wear-and-tear. The ongoing trend of micro-sized servo drive technology is driven by Moore’s Law and ...

The automation engineers of the 1960s would look with envy at the servo technology in use today. Small, precise, and, above all, electric, they are a reflection of the compactness of the semiconductor ...
