Summary:

A Valuable Addition to Your Engineering Library . . . With more than three decades of industry experience, Chuck has filled this 400+ page, illustrated handbook with valuable anecdotes, insights and examples that will help you balance all of the electrical, mechanical and software considerations of most motion control applications. Topics covered include:

-Integrating Motors & Systems: Offers an overview of the basics for integrating a motor to a system. This chapter provides a foundation to properly determine the type of system to employ, select the type of control method, size the motor requirements, develop motor parameter specifications and verify the motor profile.

- Using Stepper Motion: For successful stepper motor control applications, this chapter provides a basic understanding of stepper motors, various amplifiers or translators, control methods and a good system analysis for the incorporated application.

- Inside the PID Loop: Providing a clearer understanding of how the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) loop works within servo motion, Chuck offers an understanding of PID element action and interaction to help engineers better comprehend how PID will affect a real-time system.

- High Speed Applications & Micro-Controllers: Chuck's objective in this chapter is to demonstrate how systems can be analyzed and applied using simple concepts rather than complex formulas. His methods can generally lead to less costly controls.

- Extensive Application Examples: These 13 application examples cover many issues including pneumatic systems, 'homing', following error and others. Used as a recommended text at MIT and many other top engineering schools, Designing With Motion Handbook will be a valuable addition to your own technical library.
