The Symphony of Surgical Robotics
June 4, 2013 3:44 pm | by Phil Brown, VP & GM, Pro-Dex Inc. – OMS | Pro-Dex | Articles | CommentsSurgical robots are becoming more of a standard in operating rooms. As such, device designers are going to need to understand the motion control technology that makes them function. This article looks at the “sheet music” that offers the guidance to the “conductor” who is instructing the “instruments.”

Linear Motor
February 28, 2005 8:08 am | Copley Controls Corp. | Product Releases | CommentsThe ServoTube linear motor’s patented magnetic design enables a high accuracy Hall position sensor to replace the delicate and expensive optical encoder. Eliminating the encoder removes the principal barrier to “universal” linear motor use and restores the motor’s intrinsic ruggedness.
