Pumps that move liquid precisely are at the heart of a broad array of patient treatment devices and laboratory automation. The first part of our Precision Fluid Handling series will outline the keys to machine design success. You’ll get an understanding of what type of fluid pumps will work best in your motion control application, and what type of motion control techniques will give you the fluid pumping accuracy that you need.
The Juno MC71113, MC73113, and MC78113 are newly released ICs that integrate a high-speed outer loop control function with a velocity control function for 3-phase Brushless DC and DC Brush motors. Ideal for controlling pressure, temperature, liquid level, magnetic bearings, chemical reaction rate, and other 'outer loop' quantities for medical, industrial, and military applications, these devices can operate via microprocessor control or by direct analog or digital signal command.
The coronavirus outbreak has created an increasing number of challenges to individuals, families, communities, and companies. The rapid spread of COVID-19 has put many of the products built by PMD's customers on the front line of the response. See what solutions our customers are building to identify, treat, and prevent the spread of this devastating virus.
Step motors are a popular motion control choice in positioning applications for two main reasons - their ease of use and their low cost. But step motors have a well-known liability which is that they are noisy and tend to vibrate when moving. This deep dive, which is part of our Common Motion Control Problems and How to Solve Them series, shows you control techniques that you can use to dramatically reduce, and in some cases eliminate, step motor noise & vibration.
PMD is pleased to announce the signing of a new partnership agreement with IMCA for distribution of PMD's motion control products in Turkey Through this agreement, PMD further expands its support of worldwide customers who want to develop laboratory, medical, and industrial automation applications using state-of-the-art motion control technology.
Advanced Motion Control of Servo and Step Motors June 3, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. EDT Today’s equipment manufacturers are constantly challenged with finding cost effective ways to deliver high-performance machines but leveraging the advanced motion control that servo motors deliver can come at a cost. Hear about two design techniques,current and closed-loop, and about an new motion control technique that will achieve servo motor performance at a step motor cost.
Autonomous robots are figuring out how to navigate around people and obstacles to keep people and robots safe. In this webinar, MCMA explores this new era and the intersection of robot safety and technology. Presented by MCMA and sponsored by PMD
Servo Motor Noise and How to Fix It A noisy or chattering servo axis is one of the most common motion problem that engineers encounter. This deep dive focuses on servo motor noise problems and how to solve them.
