3 ways to control motors for precision movement in positioning conveyo
How much precision do you need in motor control for your conveyors? Eric Rice | Nov 15, 2018 Motors serve as integral components of motion control systems for industrial conveyors. Typically, conveyor applications operate at either a constant or variable speed, requiring only velocity control from a main drive motor. Positioning conveyors, such as those used for automated checkweighers, require more precision control. In these applications, the main drive must start and stop the positioning conveyor with moderate to high precision. While DC and AC motors are popularly used to maintain velocit...
