An electromechanical actuator coupled to a servo or stepper motor with an encoder and a toothed belt or ball-screw drive train is a common definition of linear motion. A programmable logic controller (PLC) or drive and motion controller is in charge of this electromechanical system. Cartesian gantry systems and linear motion control are undoubtedly more cost-effective due to economies of scale and technological advancements. There are many benefits to these solutions.An electromechanic …
