The case for retrofitting with advanced motion controllers
In tough economic times, tight capital budgets often force companies to delay purchases of new equipment. Yet they face the ongoing need to increase productivity. Fortunately, upgrading the motion systems on existing machines can bring many of the benefits of new equipment at a fraction of the cost. (Machine Design - May 9, 2013)

Crossbreeding Technology
The marriage of custom hydraulic press and electronic control unlocks productivity for difficult forming operations. Fabricators covet deep drawing for its ability to economically form complex and asymmetrical shapes in high volumes. The process also is ideal for products that require superior strength and minimal weight, but mastering the technique has proved challenging and limiting. (FF Journal - April 2013)

Motion Control Technology Advances Aid Precision Automotive Manufacturing
Sometimes it's not enough to simply close the control loop. Traditional control algorithms rely on eliminating an error between what is happening (as indicated by feedback from sensors in the system) and what you want to have happen. High-speed motion controllers have become good at doing this quickly. But what if, for reasons of product quality, there can be no striking errors in the first place—for example, if a metal car part is being stamped and the risk of making the impression too quickly or too heavily must be avoided? The stamping press could be moved more slowly, but the productivity of the machine would be limited. To perform the process as quickly as possible requires some innovation in how the control algorithm is set up. Dayton Die Cushions of Eden Prairie, Minn., is doing just such innovation.
