Achieving Ultra-Fast, Precision Motion with Galil Accelera Controller and Schneeberger Linear Stage
This technical article discusses how a Galil DMC-40x0 motion controller was used to control a Schneeberger linear stage to achieve a very high speed move with ultra-high precision. Galil’s Accelera controller beat out other controllers tested in the application, making a .001” move in less than 2 msec that settled within a window of +/-0.0005” and had an overshoot of less than 0.0005”.
