Motion Controller

A Motion Controller controls the motion of some object. See Motion Control. Frequently Motion Controllers are implemented using digital computers, but Motion Controllers can also be impleneted with only analog components as well. Motion Controllers require: A Load (something to be moved), a Prime Mover (something to cause the Load to Move), some Sensors to be able to sense the Motion and monitor the Prime Mover, and a Controller to provide the intelligence to cause the Prime Mover to Move the Load as Desired.

Just about everything that is man-made requires Motion Control during its Manufacture, Packaging, Distribution, Shipping or Use. Look around you and see what Motion Controllers have helped provide for us.

Motion Controllers are used to achieve some desired benfit(s) which can include:
* increased Position and Speed accuracy
* higher speeds
* faster reaction time
* increased production
* better smoothness
* reduction in costs
* integration with other automation
* integration with other processes
* ability to convert desired specifications into Motion required to produce a Product
* increased information and ability diagnose and troublshoot
* increased consistency
* improved efficientcy
* elimination of hazards to Humans or Animals
