Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is an engineering framework that optimizes the manufacturing process via design alterations to a product in the early stages of production.

Linear Guide Systems are perhaps the most diverse group of products in the motion control industry.

ASIMO is a bipedal humanoid robot Honda has been developing with a goal to develop robots that will coexist with and be useful to people since its first introduction in 2000. In 2011, the latest version was introduced with world's first autonomous behavior control technology.

Industry 4.0 describes a future state of industry characterized by thorough digitization of economic and production flows. It requires horizontal integration at every step in the production process, in interaction with machines. In the globally interconnected world of Industry 4.0, machines also interact with one another.

This lesson is a continuation of a series of lessons involved with learning about Stepper Motors and Servo Motors. If you haven’t already, please review our previously released lesson on, What is a Stepper Motor and How it works. In this lesson, we will discuss the Stepper Motor Advantages and Disadvantages compared to Servo Motors.

This short video shows you how to use Solidworks to mate a lead screw with a stepper motor.

A stepper motor is one of the most common motors used in motion control applications, primarily positioning applications.
