Comparative Analysis

Slotted and slotless brushless DC motors differ in construction and performance. Slotted motors deliver higher torque density for industrial loads, while slotless designs provide smoother, quieter motion ideal for precision and medical systems.

This paper compares cloud and edge computing, examines their role in modern predictive technologies, and outlines the safety and operational benefits of adopting the right approach.

In motion control, motor architecture defines the limits of precision, efficiency, and responsiveness. While traditional iron-core motors dominate commodity applications, maxon’s commitment to high-performance design has led them to focus almost exclusively on coreless DC motor architecture.

Comparison of maxon EC-i and ECX brushless motors, highlighting torque vs. speed performance, rotor design differences, and ideal applications for each series.

In this article, we explore some of the common communication interfaces used in mechatronic autoamtion, and provide a simplified overview of their history, purpose, and usage.

In small-scale automation, choosing the right robotic arm is less about raw power and more about precision, flexibility, and footprint. 

This article explains the key types of software available for robotic simulation and offline programming, and how they support different automation goals.

Learn the difference between hazardous environment sensors and intrinsically safe sensors, including how they work, where they're used, and which is right for explosive or extreme industrial conditions.

Selecting a collaborative robot (cobot) isn’t just about payload or price—it’s about matching capabilities to workspace constraints, task complexity, and integration needs. Here is a framework to help you choose the right collaborative robot for your workspace.

Explore the differences between linear actuators, tables, stages, and slides. Learn how industry, technology, region, and marketing influence their terminology and applications.
