Selecting the best technology to fit a high-force application can be a complex decision. What are the differences between the two technologies? What benefits will there be if a machine is designed with one technology versus the other? Taking a look under the hood of each technology reveals some distinct differences and that\u2019s a good place to start.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Performance and total cost of ownership (TCO)<\/h2>\n

There are many factors to consider in making the best decision for an application.<\/p>\n

Factor #1: Intelligence for complete control<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Programmable motion variables: position, velocity, accel\/decel & force<\/li>\n
  • High level of accuracy & repeatability<\/li>\n
  • Coordination of multiple axes<\/li>\n
  • Change motion control variables on the fly<\/li>\n
  • Network connectivity & data collection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Factor #2: Operational reliability, consistency, and efficiency<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Long, predictable life of ball and roller screw actuators<\/li>\n
    • Consistent operation across wide range of temperatures<\/li>\n
    • Reduced power costs with increased efficiency<\/li>\n
    • Eliminate environmental risks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Factor #3: Installation, commissioning, & maintenance<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Fewer components to install & potentially fail<\/li>\n
      • Programmable, consistent commissioning for repeat builds<\/li>\n
      • Eliminate manual machine adjustments by operator<\/li>\n
      • Minimal maintenance \u2013 periodic re-lubrication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Factor #4: Clean & efficient technology<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • No leaks to contaminate or create safety hazards<\/li>\n
        • High efficiency (~75-80%)\/low electric utility costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
