Linear Motion Control Strategies

In a digital world where success can be measured by hundredths of seconds and fractions of inches, the reliance on precise measurement is the benchmark of success, or failure.

In this eBook, we discuss four basic attributes of linear motion. We also take a deeper look at the emerging role of mechatronics and the continuing improvement in position feedback. We start with how the changes in linear motion technology can affect decisions on cost, productivity, and performance—and why a deep look at these topics can produce surprising results.

The margin for error in manufacturing is small to begin with, and in linear motion it is smaller still. Yet, the tools to improve accuracy in cost-effective ways can be found with a precise look at the technologies available today.
