Motion-control system

There are plastics such as TP elastomers that are frequently subjected to dynamic loads where heat energy and motion control systems are required. One of the serious dynamic loading problems frequently encountered in machines and vehicles is vibration-induced deflection (Chapter 4, DYNAMIC LOAD ISOLATOR). 

These are a few of the mechanical factors that have much more effect on the electronic design of motion control systems. The electronic engineer must understand the mechanics of motion that are encountered in order for the electronic system to be successful. To decide on electronic and software requirements, it is important factors have to be considered such as product flow and throughput, operator requirements, and maintenance issues.

The best approach to implement a motion control system is to first specify a motor and drive that are capable of meeting the performance requirements. Once they are specified, the remaining parts of the system should be selected to match the motor and drive combination. In addition to the performance of the control axis, networking capability, user interface, and environmental considerations should also be addressed.
