This workshop initially examines the basic building blocks and design tools to implement motion control systems. Fundamental concepts of load, inertia, force and real time are examined along with various factors such as performance limitations and costs that impact the selection of electro hydraulic, pneumatic and electromechanical technologies.

This workshop is designed for personnel who need to apply motion control technology as productively and economically as possible.

At the end of this workshop, delegates will be able to:

  • Design and troubleshoot a complete motion control system
  • Apply their new knowledge of servo's to motion control applications
  • Troubleshoot servo systems
  • Size and select the appropriate drives/amplifiers/servos/steppers for your application
  • Apply the concepts of load, inertia, force and real time to motion control problems
  • Understand concepts such as backlash, static/running friction, resolution, stiffness, speed and torque
  • Design and troubleshoot six basic motor types for motion control
