All of our integrated circuits come with easy-to-use Pro-Motion® development software and our C-Motion® language and source code which will help you get your motors moving quickly. What's more, our Developer Kits, come complete with ICs, boards, cables, development tools, and documentation which makes completing your design prototype fast and efficient.
Before selecting the best motor, or motors, for your design project, take time to understand what kind of positioning controls and functionality you need.
Read how we have implemented a high-speed motion system on a liquid handling robot gantry that improves 25% to 50% robot throughput.
Learn how step motors controlled with a digital current loop will be significantly quieter, run faster, and have lower operating temperatures.
If your existing equipment needs a performance boost or if you need to develop a new product in the shortest development time possible, learn about the core advantages of using motion control solutions from Performance Motion Devices.
