Headaches When Dealing With Linear Motors

    Nov. 10, 2010

    The last time we investigated linear motors a few years back for use on our pick-and-place machines, we found a lot of system integration headaches to mix and match various components. We stayed away from them. Today it looks like there are more-integrated systems available. Also, are there any design or selection guidelines to simplify matters?
