An Introduction to Plug-and-Play Motion Subsystems

April 9, 2013
Sponsored by Bell Everman
Machines with challenging motion requirements will benefit from a design strategy based on plug-and-play motion subsystems. Rather than a collection of individual electromechanical components, which may or may not work well together, these embedded motion systems are designed, assembled and tested as a system before integration on the production machine. In this paper, you'll learn more about embedded motion systems through two case studies that show how this design approach works in practice.
