Defining system requirements with clarity is the first step in selecting motion control system components for any application. Should you be primarily focused on linearity, resolution, or repeatability? Are you dealing with tanks where you need to measure the weight or the non-linear flow of liquids? Perhaps you’re dealing with machinery where you need an industrial joystick combined with a potentiometer. Do you need single-axis or multi-axes functionality? Each application has its own …

Basic control tech components can get the job done at a lower cost but sometimes sacrifice efficiency, functionality, and ease of use. As companies are looking to get more out of their machines over time, incorporating more advanced control components may serve you better in the long run.Industrial joysticks and potentiometers work together to provide motion control technology in a wide range of industries, but how do you know which type of component is best for your application? Here ar …

From industrial loading equipment to agricultural and construction machinery, engineers are using advanced control panel components to help machine operators increase efficiency and comfort while doing their jobs. These components are designed with simple user interfaces and made of materials that can withstand use in any environment. Custom control panels can assist with a variety of functions, including turning machines on and off or triggering or stopping specific movements. Here are a f …

Industrial joysticks are commonly used to control a large variety of heavy equipment. From military to agricultural applications, these professional-grade components have become a staple for operators of equipment carriers and loaders, excavators, motor graders, backhoes, bulldozers, forklifts, and more.  The rapid innovation of motion control technology for heavy-duty equipment has raised customer expectations. Whether you’re spending thousands or millions on your projects, you need cont …

Industrial motion controllers have forever changed the industrial and technological landscape by allowing machines to go where no man has gone before. Humans and machines are partnering like never before to get things done. Joysticks are used for a wide range of heavy-duty applications such as cranes, logging, steel mills, mining machinery, and offshore drilling equipment. But you may be surprised to see where else this technology is being utilized. For example, drones have revoluti …
