Automation and mechanical motion systems have become integral to industries ranging from manufacturing to healthcare.

It sounds so simple. It’s just servos mounted on linear actuators, right? Oh, and some computer vision to determine where the ball actually is on the table. And the software to actually control ...

The linear actuator that moves the laser may not be the longest or the strongest, but it’s free, and we’ve seen plenty of little X-Y tables using CD drives. It’s these mechanisms that ...

The standard will define the basis pneumatic actuator types (i.e., scotch yoke, rack and pinion, rotary vane, and linear piston type). The standard will include guidelines and recommendations for the ...
