Positioning systems: movement in the market

Positioning systems: movement in the market
Aerotech will present itself at the SPS - smart production solutions show taking place from 26th to 28th in Nuremberg. The manufacturer of high-performance motion control and positioning systems focuses on its 'Automation1' control platform, which, among other things, demonstrates in a demo system force regulation with the ACT115DL linear high-performance actuator. The motion control platform functions as a complete machine control with all components and thus offers much more than a pure 'motion control.'

Solution eliminates both environmental and internal heating effects

Solution eliminates both environmental and internal heating effects
Regulating the environment in which the machine operates is the most frequent approach to reducing thermal errors. This mitigates the need to design a thermally insensitive machine, which is a difficult and costly endeavour. Although successful at minimising thermal effects, environmental regulation can also be expensive when maintaining precise building temperature control, and always adds to production quality risks due to the inherently unreliable stability of most air-conditioning systems.
