General

An encoder is an electromechanical device that converts motion or position into an electrical signal. This signal can be used to determine speed, direction, and position, making encoders essential components in motion control systems. Among the most critical applications for

Diagnosing servo motor issues can be challenging, especially when determining whether the issue lies within the electrical system or the mechanical components. Malfunctions lead to production downtime and costly repairs if not diagnosed accurately and promptly.  Therefore, understanding the distinction between

Anyone involved in servo motor maintenance and repair understands the critical need for accurate alignment and diagnostics of feedback devices. With today’s automation systems relying on a wide range of serial protocols, a tester that supports multiple protocols can significantly

Servo motor repair can be a lengthy and costly process. The longer the servo motor is out of service, the greater the impact on production – and ultimately the bottom line. If you suspect problems with a servo motor, follow

From CNC machines to robotics, servo motors are helping to drive the manufacturing industry. But their applications extend far beyond traditional manufacturing and motion control. Known for their precision and ability to maintain position, these devices can be found in

For manufacturers, unplanned equipment downtime poses the greatest risk to productivity and profitability. When servo motors fail or operate below peak efficiency, the consequences can be severe, disrupting robotics, CNC machines, and entire production lines. The results: significant production losses

When considering which type of servo motor to use, the choice often boils down to a choice between brushed servo motors or brushless servo motors. So, how do you know which is right for you? The answer is of course:

Like any piece of equipment, servo motors are prone to wear and will experience issues over time. When problems arise, accurate diagnostics and swift repairs are essential. However, attempting these tasks without the proper tools creates significant challenges before, during,

Manufacturers know it all too well: the dreaded sound of silence. Even minimal machine downtime, whether planned or unplanned, negatively affects output, operational efficiency, revenue, and customer satisfaction. Here are five practical ways that you can keep those machines running
