New Paper! Force Control In Actuators and Robot End Grippers.
Robotics and adaptive automation is a fast-moving field requiring the very latest in motion control technology solutions. Mobile and airborne systems require ultra-low power operation from motion ICs and motor drives, while automated factory applications demand advanced path planning, data gathering, and choice of communication protocols.
Performance Motion Devices answers the call for advanced robotics and automation solutions with state-of-the-art torque control and positioning ICs that helps you squeeze the most out of your system's Brushless DC, DC Brush, and step motors. Or for a more integrated solution try our ION/CME N-Series Digital Drive which provides a fully integrated single-axis motion control drive in an ultra-compact PCB-mountable package.
We have the motion control components and software you need to design and build your robotic system faster, with more performance, and at a lower cost. We understand your challenges and offer a range of easy-to-deploy motion control solutions, such as integrated circuits (ICs), digital drives, digital amplifiers, and motion control boards.
Contact us and tell us about it. We'd love to explore how our custom or turn-key ICs, modules, and boards, can best meet your robotics design challenge.
Autonomous mobile robots improve supply chain efficiency, worker safety and, ultimately, the ability to meet customer expectations. PMD helps designers build the AMRs that are part of today’s Supply Chain 4.0, with precision motion control products that deliver high performance in ultra-compact form factors, advanced network connectivity, and unmatched programming speed and versatility. Our expertise helps ensure solutions that meet the logistics challenges of today and tomorrow.
In this white paper, we look at machines with non-Cartesian movement systems. These include nearly all 'armed' robots such as SCARA robots, PUMA-style arms, as well as others.
N-Series ION Digital Drives are compact, PCB-mountable intelligent motion control amplifiers that provide high-performance motion control, network connectivity, and power amplification.
When it comes to step motors, a new drive technique called stepper servo has some engineers believing they have found the holy grail of positioning motion control - the high performance of a servo motor with the low cost of a step motor.
Even if your PID settings are carefully optimized, the motion at the end effector is never perfect. This paper looks at feedforward and how it delivers accuracy and smoothness.
Machine designers are often asked to build systems that take up less space and operate on less power. Read about new developments in motors, sensors, and architectures.
All of PMD's products are available in Developer Kit form, helping you get going quickly and easily. Pro-Motion, PMD's powerful motor setup and motion analysis tool has helped thousands of companies build their new products faster, with higher performance, and greater motion stability than they thought possible. C-Motion is PMD's common motion language that eliminates two-letter codes and provides easy to read commands and full axis virtualization.
