In machine automation, gantry control is required across a range of applications, from 3D printing to CNC machining. As precision is crucial, this places high dependence on the gantry’s motion control system. Focussing primarily on design needs for compact machines and embedded control, there is a particular need to look at the motion control profiles and features required.

From augers to bottling systems, packaging machines for the food & beverage sector depend on fast, accurate motion systems to deliver the throughput they need. While servo motors and drives are required for their precision and dynamism, the motion solution is also subject to the stringent hygiene regulations that apply to machinery used in the sector.
