An electronic survey of Control Design readers was conducted in October 2013 in order to identify usage and application trends of machine safety among the industrial machine builders that comprise Control Design's readership.
Customer resistance to cost (33%) and standards uncertainty (26.1%) were two of the biggest hindrances to implementing an integrated system in this year's study. Customer resistance to technology (13.6%), and technical concerns (11.4%) were also mentioned.
This paper examines highly sensitive piezoelectric sensors for precise vibration measurement which is critical in semiconductor production to prevent quality and yield issues....
Motor encoders are rotary encoders adapted to provide information about an electric motor shaft's speed and/or position. Like rotary encoders, motor encoders are most commonly...
