Today’s servo-controlled machines are faster, smaller, and smarter than ever. As a result, machine users demand more and more performance, and this forces designers to keep improving their machines. Improving the servo performance of a machine can be challenging because so many factors come into play including the servo motors, the feedback sensor, the servo drives, and the mechanical transmission. This white paper is for designers who want to improve servo performance. It will walk you through the decisions you’ll need to make, starting with understanding how the servos affects the machine, which components have the dominant effects, and what changes are likely to make substantial improvements.
