World-class Motion Control Solutions

PMD announced the availability of products through Mouser Electronics. Through this agreement, Mouser will now distribute PMD's Magellan, Juno, ION, Atlas, and Prodigy families.

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.

Juno MC71113, MC73113, and MC78113 ICs integrate a high-speed outer loop control function with a velocity control function for 3-phase Brushless DC and DC Brush motors.

New Prodigy motion control boards with pre-installed UDPM provide amplifier and synchronized contouring for DC Brush, Brushless DC, and step motor applications.

Read about the benefits and limitations of the new stepper servo control drive technique, and understand why it gets attention from machine designers.

This paper provides an overview of PID (proportional, integral, derivative) based servo motor tuning, and introduces two manual tuning methods.
