Closed-loop control of stepping motors integrates feedback from position or current observers to achieve high precision, rapid response and robustness against load disturbances. Unlike traditional ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has finalized guidance on physiologic closed-loop control (PCLC) technologies that includes several updates requested by medical device manufacturers. More ...

Spending more time in glucose range could help reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes, but available closed-loop insulin delivery systems are not customized to pregnancy-specific needs. In a randomized ...

How closed-loop control systems provide real-time motion and position feedback in motion control applications. What to consider when choosing motion control sensors like industrial encoder ...

Good building mechanical design requires a firm grasp of the mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, psychrometrics, the fan laws, etc.). The same can be said about the BAS design needed ...
