Guide systems that turn corners

★ By Danielle Collins 1 Comment

curved guides

The shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, but some applications dictate moving in curved sections and around corners. When two or more axes are combined, as in a Cartesian or gantry system, a method of control called contouring can be used to create radii and round the corners of traditional rectilinear coordinates. […]

Motion trends update: Positioning stages lead charge to pragmatic design

★ By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

The AZ60-A motorized vertical elevator stage from Optimal Engineering Systems (OES) is a low-profile 183.7 x 80 x 38 to 42-mm stage. It works for low-cost, high resolution, wedge-type elevator applications needing precise vertical positioning.

Positioning stages today can satisfy specific and demanding output requirements. That’s because customized integration and the latest in motion programming now help stages get incredible accuracy and synchronization. What’s more, advances in mechanical parts and motors are helping OEMs plan for better multi-axis positioning-stage integration. Mechanical advances for stages Consider how traditional stage builds combine […]
