control is focused on moving a load from one place to another. It

does this by precisely controlling the position, velocity, and acceleration of

the load under defined operating conditions

Is widely used in all types of industries including

packaging, assembly, paper, printing, food processing, wood products,

machinery, electronics, and semiconductor manufacturing.

Each motor moves a segment of the mechanical components of the

machine. The segment along with motor that moves is called an AXIS.

Systems employed for motion control are called drives and may employ

any of the prime movers for supplying mechanical energy for motion

control.

an initial source of motive power designed to receive and

modify force and motion applied by some natural source to drive

machinery.
