While servomotors remain the gold standard for precision motion control in industrial machinery, the improved performance of stepper motors is making these lower-cost devices an increasingly attractive alternative for many applications. The key to these performance gains is the addition of rotation-measuring encoders, especially the new absolute multi-turn kit encoders from POSITAL.
November 15, 2023 From recently completed production lines, Festo introduces a new generation of competitively priced compact grippers that offer a host of advantages for precision electronics and small part assembly. The DHPC parallel gripper offers ≤ 0.01 mm repetition accuracy, while its variants – the DHWC angle and DHRC radial gripper – offer ≤ 0.2 mm accuracy. The DHPC, DHWC, and DHRC…

November 4, 2025 By Mathias Blake, Martin Hsu, Ivan Goldwasser, Harry Petty and Jared Huntington The exponential growth of AI workloads is increasing data centre power demands. Traditional 54 V in-rack power distribution, designed for kilowatt (KW)-scale racks, isn’t designed to support the megawatt (MW)-scale racks coming soon to modern AI factories. NVIDIA is leading the transition to 800 VDC data… Read More…
