The development of a FORTH interpreter/compiler for the Microchip dsPIC33 16-bit Digital Signal Controller and my interest in robots finally intersected the other day when I added two sets of ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

A growing number of manufacturers are saving time and money by testing, diagnosing and even repairing servo motors in-house. We look at the expanded role of encoder test systems and present one ...
