Yaskawa: Impacts on Linear Motion Selection, Optimization, and Integration
June 9, 2025
Motion in a Straight Line: Linear motors provide exceptional and stable performance over the life of the machine.
This eBook places the focus on the effective design of motion control solutions for industrial machinery. Learn about applications in Cartesian robots, or long-travel linear robots, where the principal axes for control are linear; also uncover how and why hybrid automation systems can improve manufacturer sustainability. Additionally, we present a practical guide on deciding which linear servo motor technology is the right choice. This roadmap guides readers through the components that comprise not only the distinct features of the linear motor stage but also those used in the making of other linear actuators. Stable performance over the life of the machine remains front and center in design considerations. To this end, authors were sensitive to the all-important long-term cost and performance aspects of the design and selection for these applications.
