Multiplexer forms basis of production quality management system
A modern manufacturing line has a multiplicity of sensors embedded in its production machines and peripheral equipment, all feeding back positional data, measurements and other information on the process. Keeping track of the wealth of information generated can be a problem.
Motion control algorithms provide seamless transitions between feedback devices
Designed specifically for linear motor based closed track transportation systems, ACS Motion Control has developed several advanced motion control algorithms for its SPiiPlusNT family of motion controllers and drives. ACS says that such systems offer improved performance at a fraction of the cost when compared with traditional moving magnet based closed track transport systems.
