01

Servo Systems

A servo system uses feedback to regulate a mechanical variable such as position, velocity, or torque.

position loop → velocity loop → torque/current loop

02

Actuation

  • DC motors.
  • Brushless DC motors.
  • Permanent-magnet synchronous motors.
  • Induction motors.
  • Stepper motors.
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic actuators.

03

Multi-Axis Motion

Machines such as CNC systems, robots, packaging equipment, and semiconductor tools coordinate multiple axes while respecting velocity, acceleration, jerk, synchronization, and mechanical constraints.
