Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...

This is probably the last of three articles on how piecewise-linear functions could be used as a helpful on-ramp to the big ideas in calculus. In the first article, we saw how it’s possible to develop ...

This eBook places the focus on the effective design of motion control solutions for industrial machinery. Learn about applications in Cartesian robots, or long-travel linear robots, where the ...
