To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

Download the PDF of this article. In high-throughput applications, standard triangular or trapezoidal motion profiles have been widely utilized to reach a desired position quickly. As shown in the ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...
