Teknic, Inc. was established in 1985, and after developing design tools for Texas Instruments' digital signal processors (DSPs), became one of the first pioneering companies to use DSPs in motion control applications. We have been applying this expertise to motion control technology for over two decades, leading to many price/performance breakthroughs. Teknic's technical legacy includes several industry firsts, including:

• The first DSP-based servo drive
• The first all-digital current loop control
• The first all-digital "d-q" indirect vector torque control for brushless motors
• The first motion profile generator capable of sculpting profiles in real time (based on patented technology) to improve motion smoothness and decrease machine vibration
• The first high-performance, all-in-one brushless servo motor, servo drive and controller that costs less than the sum of its individual components

Over the last decade Teknic has produced a steady stream of state-of-the-art, proprietary motion control features making it easy for our clients' machines to perform at industry leading levels. These innovations include:

• Electronic Inertia Matching Technology (IMT) for adaptive control of difficult loads
• Regressive Auto Spline (RAS) to process move profiles for ultra smooth motion and low machine vibration
• SmartSaturation™ to handle inadvertent voltage or current clipping gracefully during motion
• Advanced Velocity and Acceleration Estimators to reduce quantization noise for tighter, more accurate control
• AntiHunt™ technology to keep axes still at the end of moves
• g-Stop Command Tuning™ which sculpts traditional motion profiles into uniquely shaped profiles that do a remarkable job of making motion smoother and reducing machine resonances.

Because of this, in application after application, Teknic's advanced machine automation products have proven to be the superior choice compared head-to-head against competing products.
