An electronic survey of Control Design readers was conducted in August 2013 in order to identify usage and application trends of HMI & industrial PCs among the industrial machine builders that comprise Control Design's readership.
Electric motors and actuators are the primary machine motion source used by Control Design readers (40%), with Complementary electric plus pneumatic power sources (21%), Complementary electric plus hydraulic power sources (11.5%), Hydraulic Motors/Actuators (9%), Pneumatic Motors/Actuators 9%) less widely used as a primary power source.
Industrial manufacturing equipment often relies on human-machine interfaces, industrial PCs and enclosures to ensure system reliability and optimal performance. These components...
Large rotational applications like MRI machines, excavators, mobile equipment, forklifts and stagecraft require precise motion feedback for optimal performance, safety and efficiency...
Encoders can be used in material handling on sorters, conveyors, in automated storage retrieval systems, on mobile equipment, automated mobile robots and more. See how one company...
The right encoder makes all the difference. Incremental encoders are perfect for tracking speed and direction in dynamic motion. Absolute encoders? They remember exact positioning...
