Performance Motion Devices, Inc. (PMD)

If it needs motion control, it needs Performance Motion Devices. New PMD video debuts @RoboticsSummit and Expo in Boston on May 10-11. #MotionControl

Carlos Bielicki, VP of Sales & Marketing at PMD, introduced us to the PCR 56/06 EC SD developer kit demo at SLAS 2025! It delivers a seamlessly integrated solution for rapid prototyping by combining Portescap's world-class BLDC motors with PMD's ION/CME N-Series Digital Drives. Learn more about the newly launched developer kit and our partnership with Portescap here: https://bit.ly/42WrQ7n #motioncontrol #motorcontrol #bldc #bldcmotor #automation #labautomation #slas #slas2025 #slas2026

We hope everyone also had a successful SLAS 2025! The Performance Motion Devices team would like to thank everyone who connected with us and came by our booth. We’re looking forward to Boston next year, where you can find us at booth 1032.

Gantries and their end effectors place special demands on motion controllers. Trajectory profiles must be designed to maximize throughput while minimizing the vibration injected into the mechanism. Furthermore, servo control techniques must operate safely over a wide range of payload weights and movement speeds.

Machine designers are often asked to squeeze the maximum possible performance out of a machine for the lowest possible cost. Our 6th most popular resource of last year demonstrates how trace functions can be used to achieve this.

Miniaturization of components, motors, motion control drives, and motion control ICs has become critical in the medical, aerospace, consumer electronics, and laboratory automation industries. How are companies overcoming limits to miniaturization?

When controlling robotic grippers, we care just as much about the force being applied to an object as we do about the position of the actuator. Explore design considerations and application architecture for Robotic Gripper Control in our 7th most popular resource this year: https://hubs.la/Q030Wg-v0 #automation #robotics #motorcontrol #motioncontrol

The more we know about the machine mechanics, the load, and the environment, the more we can utilize feedforward to improve system performance in various applications. Our 8th most popular resource this year was Feedforward in Motion Control - Vital for Improving Positioning Accuracy.
