Production bottlenecks are no longer driven by labor alone; inflexible CNC equipment now limits how manufacturers scale. Phantom CNC Systems is addressing that constraint through a 2026 expansion of ...

Motion and motor controllers are such an integral part of machines and automation systems, they often get taken for granted. But new manufacturing and machine-building demands for more modular system ...

At the end of February, PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group)—the consortium for open hardware specifications—introduced InterEdge, a modular architecture for process control systems ...

Beckhoff Automation’s latest motion system components and modular automation architecture are designed to simplify machine control integration, improve energy efficiency and reduce wiring complexity.

The allure of modular systems is multifaceted, but perhaps the most important aspect is the efficiency. Standardized components, built off-site in specialized facilities reduce material use, minimize ...

Ideally, an optical table’s vertical vibration response on isolators would be a single-degree-of-freedom system. The system would be symmetrical around the vertical axis, and a vertical force through ...
