Motion Control for CNC & Robotics: Focuses on the basic elements that comprise modern CNC and robotic control systems; and how those systems achieve and perform with precision and repeatability. Motion Control for CNC & Robotics includes sections on the types of motors used with positioning, including linear, torque, and stepper motors; drive amplifiers, PWM drives, and those types of feedback devices typically used with closed-loop control. This is the first book in the "Practical Guides for Industrial Technicians" series. If you are new to troubleshooting these types of control systems, this book is a great place to gain insight into the many components and systems used in complex motion control systems. Explains in clear and easy to understand language, the building blocks of motion and positioning, and builds the skills needed for troubleshooting robot and CNC machine controls
