Why is the maxon Group developing programmable master controllers?
maxon has been developing and producing drive components and mechatronic systems for decades. However, the system business is becoming increasingly important and more complex. Programmable MACS controllers are thus an essential component for these system solutions. The master controller (MACS) can be used in a variety of ways. Practical examples include autonomous repetitive processing of travel profiles, as well as…
Sensors of the same type don’t necessarily measure the same “things”
When evaluating different motion sensors, consider the number of axes your device needs to measure for your application. Then, consider the possibilities that could be unlocked by measuring additional–or different–axes. Choosing the right sensor capability early in your development process will lead to the best cost/performance fit, quick time to market and low development and product costs.
5 Axis Machining: Mold & Die Headlight Mold | DMG MORI | CAM-Software | hyperMILL
Precision, surface quality and smooth transitions are some of the most important characteristics for the mold & die industry. Together with DMGMORI and Paul Horn we machined this core of headlight mold…

Drive systems for sample distribution
When it comes to performing a very large number of standardized tests, such as in the case of a mass test for COVID-19, there is no avoiding largescale, automated laboratories. The advantages of automation are obvious: it enables more reliable results with a much higher throughput. One important aspect for a successful laboratory automation is the transport of samples from…

Encoders hold the key to ultra-accurate motion control
Aerotech, continuing its commitment to the art and science of motion control, looks to Renishaw for versatile, high-precision laser interferometer encoders for its medical stages. Read more
A more accessible city? Get insights from mobility data with Multimodal Analytics
Municipalities and provinces generate a lot of data with their infrastructure. This data can be used to make and test policy, and make adjustments if necessary. But how do you convert this raw data into management information? To channel this complexity, InTraffic developed the Multimodal Analytics (M2A) approach. M2A is a mobility analytics platform with an associated design thinking approach…
White paper | How can you calculate the moment of inertia?
And how does it affect the selection of a torque motor in your application? The moment of inertia is a key concept in understanding the rotational behavior of objects. Check out our white paper with an explanation of this topic.
