Miniaturisation in motion control means smaller, higher-performing machines

As OEMs strive to develop ever more mobile and compact machines, the trend is forcing miniature motion control manufacturers to keep pace. Gerard Bush of INMOCO explains how, as a result, miniature motion technology is moving towards decentralised control.

Answering these
demands, miniature motion solution development has also facilitated the reorganisation of machine architecture, allowing
OEMs to decentralise motion control to local, embedded positions. Consequently, this trend is
enabling improved performance and helping to reduce costs.
