Linear Motor or Ball Screw Motor? Selecting the Best Solution for Precision Dispensing & Automation
In semiconductor, electronic manufacturing, automation and other industries, picking the right motor is crucial for good production quality and efficiency. Two popular choices in the industry are linear motors and servo motors (Ball Screw). Linear motors vs ball screw motors; Each has distinct ...Read more -
Linear Motors vs Belt/Ball Screw/Rack & Pinion Drive Systems
Linear motion can be achieved by using different types of drive systems. Depending on the requirements of the application different drive systems can be beneficial for your machine. Belt drive, rack & pinion, ball screw, and linear motors are often considered four common linear drive systems...Read more -
The Difference between Linear Motor and “Ball Screw + Servo Motor”
The linear motor was invented by the British in 1845, but the air gap of the linear motor at that time was too large and the efficiency was very low, so it could not be applied. But its development was limited due to high cost and low efficiency. It was not until the 1970s that linear motors wer...Read more -
Feedback on stepper motors for better positioning and holding (and less ringing)
Stepper motors are a top choice for many motion and position control applications. They’re available in a wide range of sizes and torque ratings and are significantly less expensive than high-end servomotors. So, let’s talk about ways of raising stepper-motor performance to that of servomotors b...Read more -
Open-loop stepper motor versus closed-loop stepper motor systems
Step motor systems are a bedrock of the motion control industry. We’ll look at the differences between open-loop system vs. closed-loop system and also explain the latest developments making step motor systems even faster, quieter, and more energy efficient than ever before. Step motor systems h...Read more -
How to prevent stepper motor losing step?
Stepper motor is an open-loop control motor which transforms electric pulse signal into angular displacement or linear displacement. In the case of no step losses, the motor speed and stop position depend on the pulse signal frequency and the pulse count instead of the variation of the load. Whe...Read more -
FAQ: What is closed-loop stepper motor control with step-loss compensation?
Closed-loop stepper-motor control with step-loss compensation is a common performance-boosting algorithm for stepper systems. In one prevalent form of step-loss compensation, an angle sensor or encoder tracks the motor-rotor position and any missed steps. Then the controller records its commands...Read more -
Frequently Asked Questions About CNC Machines
Q: What is an axis in a CNC machine? A: In a CNC machine, an axis is a direction in which the machine tool can move or rotate. The axes on a CNC machine are used to describe its movement capability, typically in a straight line (linear) or around an axis of rotation. Q: What are the different CN...Read more -
How to Choose the Right Number of Axes for Your CNC Machine?
When deciding on the appropriate number of axes for your CNC machine, several factors must be considered to match the machine’s capabilities with your manufacturing requirements: 1. Complexity of Parts: Evaluate the geometric complexity of the parts you need to manufacture. Simple parts with 2D ...Read more -
How Does a 5-Axis CNC Machine Enhance Machining?
A 5-axis CNC machine enhances machining by allowing for the simultaneous movement of tools or parts along five different axes. This capability significantly increases flexibility, precision, and efficiency in manufacturing complex and detailed parts. Here are the primary ways in which 5-axis CNC...Read more -
What Are the Benefits of a 4-Axis CNC Mill?
Let’s focus on the technical parameters that justify 4-axis CNC mill advantages: 1. Enhanced Flexibility and Complexity: The 4-axis mill introduces rotational movement around the X-axis (known as the A-axis). This additional axis allows for the machining of more complex geometries that ...Read more -
