Synopsis

Motion control is widely used in all types of industries including packaging, assembly, textile, paper, printing, food processing, wood products, machinery, electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. Industrial motion control applications use specialized equipment and require system design and integration. To design such systems, engineers need to be familiar with industrial motion control products; be able to bring together control theory, kinematics, dynamics, electronics, simulation, programming and machine design; apply interdisciplinary knowledge; and deal with practical application issues. The book is intended to be an introduction to the topic for senior level undergraduate mechanical and electrical engineering students. It should also be resource for system design engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, project managers, industrial engineers, manufacturing engineers, product managers, field engineers, and programmers in industry.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Motion control is widely used in all types of industries including packaging, assembly, textile, paper, printing, food processing, wood products, machinery, electronics, and semiconductor manufacturing. It is the heart of just about any automated machinery and process. Industrial motion control applications use specialized equipment and require system design and integration. To design such systems, engineers need to be familiar with industrial motion control products; be able to bring together control theory, kinematics, dynamics, electronics, simulation, programming and machine design; apply interdisciplinary knowledge; and deal with practical application issues.

Much of the material is available in manufacturer data sheets, manuals, product catalogs, fragments in various college courses, websites, trade magazines, and as know-how among practicing engineers. The author presents these pieces in a cohesive way to provide the foundational concepts while supplementing them with solved practical application examples using data for industrial products from data sheets and catalogs.

The book is intended to be an introduction to the topic for senior-level undergraduate mechanical and electrical engineering students. It can also be a resource for system design engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, project managers, industrial engineers, manufacturing engineers, product managers, field engineers, and programmers in industry.
