Innovation is the watchword of mechatronics. The pressure for solutions in alternative energy continue to push the boundaries of design in electromechanical systems. In the wind energy arena…
An interesting aspect of actuator design popped up in a couple of recent applications. The efficiency value of the actuator isn’t often the top parameter on the list…
Friction is rarely talked about in motion control circles (pun intended for those paying attention). It is the “waste” energy in mechanical systems. We spend a lot of…
Writing software for control applications isn’t the easiest thing. It’s probably been 15 years since I had to write any actual code for a control application. I have…
Steve Meyer covers the world of mechatronics, design, renewable energy, robotics, automation, motion, sensors and featured commentary.
