There are many challenges when designing a motion control system. One challenge that can overwhelm many engineers is nonlinear mechanics. These mechanics can make tuning a motion control system difficult. At Galil, we pride ourselves in being able to provide intuitive solutions for these nonlinear or unorthodox mechanics. This webinar will discuss six examples of applications with nonlinear mechanics, their inherent challenges, and the tools/solutions to address these challenges.
Below are the six examples of applications with nonlinear mechanics:

1. High-friction axis
2. Mechanics with backlash
3. Servo axis involving a spring
4. Axis exposed to large and unpredictable outside forces
5. Mechanics where inertia varies with position
6. Hydraulic axis

In 1955 C. Walton Musser invented the strain wave gear.  His precision reducer design includes only 3 parts, yet offers Zero Backlash, High Accuracy and High Torque to Weight Ratio and together with the USM Corporation perfected the mechanics of the strain wave gear, and commercialized it in 1960 forming the Harmonic Drive division of USM.  The Harmonic Drive division grew to become the Harmonic Drive Group Companies, the worldwide leader in motion control with 3 manufacturing facilities in Japan, USA and Germany serving local and global companies...

New 4 minute YouTube Video

Can my step motor get hot enough to cook an egg?  In this segment of The Why? Series, Bob White, Manager, Training and Digital Marketing at Kollmorgen, explains why a typical step motor may get hot.  Learn why a step motor will heat up, and what can be done to reduce this heating…unless of course, you are looking to cook an egg!

For year’s controls and systems engineers have had to balance the robustness of magnetic encoders with the performance of optical encoders.  However, this is no longer the case due to recent advances in magnetic sensing technologies.  Breakthroughs in microprocessing and signal filtering have resulted in new magnetic encoders that can rival the performance of optical sensors while being more robust and compact. Learn how to select an encoder for a given application and what the future holds.\
