Just What the Doctor Ordered - Motion Control Configuration

From Performance Motion Devices, Inc.
 

 

Motion control technology has advanced significantly in the last several years with the advent of faster, cheaper microprocessors, and the availability of ultra-efficient MOSFET-based amplifiers. Some motion-related costs have not decreased however, particularly connectors and cabling.

And in relation to medical equipment design, the need for high reliability and easy servicing is more acute than ever.

How can a motion control system be built to address these trends? We examine that question in this article by looking at several motion design approaches, with a particular eye toward the needs of the medical equipment market.
