When designing high-precision automation systems, engineers often focus on the mechanical specifications of actuators, assuming that the performance listed in the datasheet is what they’ll achieve.

When and why to consider SCARA, Cartesian, articulated and collaborative robots.

Actuators are required for a variety of operations throughout a multitude of different industries. With so many different potential applications, one would correctly assume that the options can often be overwhelming. Many of these actuators only require a base-level of sizing that is mostly driven by the load (for the bearings) and the desired motion profile (for the drivetrain).

In automation applications, Z focusing refers to the precise control of vertical positioning (along the Z-axis) to maintain accurate focus during processes like imaging, inspection, or material handling. It's critical where fine adjustments at the nanometer scale are often required.

Comparing and contrasting programmable logic controllers (PLCs), programmable automation controllers (PACs) and PC – based controllers has become a favorite pastime of the industry. However, this is a nuanced topic to say the least, and if the question isn’t positioned in a specific way, one may receive one answer from one source and a completely different answer from another.

Semiconductor fabrication is a complex process that requires precise control and high purity, as any slight deviation or contamination can lead to significant issues. Bulk Diaphragm Valves (BDVs) play a crucial role here, controlling the flow of critical inert and process gases and ensuring the smooth operation of semiconductor fabrication.

The BDV Series is a rounded, compact UHP stainless steel diaphragm Valve offering excellent leak integrity, high cycle life, and low particle generation. It is a "positive retraction" diaphragm valve that enables precise control of gas and liquid distribution.
