Festo introduces the Festo Motion Control Package (FMCP), a control system for coordinated motion of up to six axes for pick and place and other high speed, precision Cartesian robotic applications.

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

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

Bosch Rexroth Corporation (www.boschrexroth.com) has added the new IndraMotion for Handling to its CMS Cartesian Motion System. The company says the new combination CMS will make it easier to specify, ...

The CMS motion system uses a PLC-based motion controller and an HMI controller interface that provides controls for gantries with up to three linear axes (X, Y, Z ) and three rotary axes (A, B, C ).

Cartesian robots can move across three axes of motion (X, Y and Z) using linear actuators positioned at right angles to each other. While it’s moves are straightforward, Cartesian robots have long ...

PI's X-365 gantry system combines large travel ranges with exceptional accuracy, perfect for semiconductor handling and ...

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...
