Optimizing Actuator Selection: Rethinking Precision and Repeatability Criteria
Introduction: When it comes to selecting actuators for industrial automation applications, engineers often prioritize speed, force capacity, and cost. These traditional criteria for actuator selection have been widely accepted and followed for decades. However, in today’s dynamic and fast-paced industries, these criteria may not be enough to meet the demands of precision and repeatability. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on precision and repeatability in automation processes, leading to a rethinking of the traditional criteria for actuator selection. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of precision and repeatability, highlighting their importance in industrial applications. We…
