Intro to Motion Control Systems
A motion control system is a collection of components put together in such a way that creates movement to a specific position, velocity, or acceleration. A closed loop motion control system consists … [Read more...] about Intro to Motion Control Systems
Closed-Loop Stepper Motor Performance Gains
Modern motion controllers can include the ability to run stepper motors with encoder feedback, resulting in true closed-loop motion control. This mode of motor control is very similar to standard … [Read more...] about Closed-Loop Stepper Motor Performance Gains
