Sawmills and lumber mills take freshly cut logs and process them into construction grade wood of all shapes and sizes. The process of turning a log into a usable piece of lumber has more or less stayed the same; the largest change to the manufacturing process is that it has become largely automated. In order to accomplish the advances in industrial automation, leading edge processors are incorporating variable frequency drives.

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
November 14, 2025 In brushless DC motor design, the geometry of the stator and rotor directly determines how torque, efficiency, and smoothness are achieved. Two of the most common configurations are slotted and slotless brushless DC motors. Both are widely used in precision motion control, robotics, and mechatronic systems, but they differ substantially in electromagnetic… Read More…
