Automation for the Future
Workshop Subjects

  • What are the relative benefits of two-phase and five-phase stepper motors? Where should each be specified – and how should they be designed in? (Oriental Motor)
  • Taking a mechatronic approach to linear motion: comparing existing linear motor systems to a theoretical ‘ideal linear motor object’ as a basis for design (Copley Motion Systems)
  • Maximising signal output: how to avoid the poor encoder feedback that is detrimental to automation performance (Heidenhain)
  • Position control: what are the relative benefits of an architecture in which many of the functions have migrated to the position controller? (Delta Tau)
