Dusty Robotics chose the ultra-compact ION/CME N-Series Intelligent Drive for its precision, flexibility and transparency, allowing their engineers to fine-tune robot performance to a degree that was unattainable with other drive solutions. This was critical to achieving the unprecedented accuracy and mobility needed for their construction layout robot, the FieldPrinter.
Delta robots provide high-speed vibration-free pick and place thanks to sophisticated motion control from PMD that integrates s-curve profiling, inverse kinematic transforms, and advanced feedforward functions.
Understanding the math behind motion control profiles is essential for optimizing system performance and minimizing mechanical stress. This article breaks down the trade-offs between trapezoidal and S-curve profiles, guiding engineers toward creating solutions that maximize precision, speed, and smooth motion.
