Precision On Your Terms – The Case for Customer-Driven Motion Solutions A Case Study of Customer Driven Precision By Mark D. Holcomb, Director of Product Management In precision motion control, the industry has often fallen into a familiar trap, assuming that more precision is always the answer. Nanometer-level accuracy? Great — but not every application needs it.…

Why Motion Profiles Matter More Than You Think When engineers evaluate precision motion systems, the first instinct is often to examine datasheets for the biggest and boldest numbers like maximum acceleration, peak velocity, and top-end travel distances. At first glance, these numbers appear to offer a clear performance picture. But hidden beneath the surface is…

How Allient Enables Faster More Accurate 3D Printing In the area of additive manufacturing (AM), where innovation thrives on speed, precision, and reliability, the unsung heroes of every machine are the motion control systems. These are the mechanisms that quite literally move the AM industry forward. And no one understands this better than Allient. While…

Driving Innovation in Digital Pathology with Precision Motion Control Systems The world of pathology is undergoing a seismic shift. Traditionally, pathologists have relied on physical glass slides, manually inspecting tissue samples under a microscope — a process that is time-intensive, highly specialized, and geographically limited. However, digital pathology is changing the game. By digitizing tissue…

Precision Built for You: Allient’s Coordinated Motion Systems for Laser Processing in Photonics In advanced photonics applications, precision isn’t a luxury; it’s the baseline. Whether you’re fabricating optical waveguides, writing micro-structures into photonic chips, or producing diffractive elements, laser processing relies on tight coordination between motion and beam activation. This coordination is not trivial, it’s a multidimensional challenge that demands intelligent, customizable, and…

The Power of Turnkey Precision: Allient’s Integrated Drive Advantage In the world of ultra-precision motion control, where high levels of accuracy and repeatability are essential, the demand for high-performance motion stages has never been greater. However, ensuring that such systems operate seamlessly often requires customers to source multiple components, integrate them with existing systems, and…

Allient’s Guide to Motor Technologies and Architectures Motor Terminology Cogging Torque Cogging torque is a torque disturbance related to the change magnetic circuit reluctance with angle. It is caused by the non-uniform lamination tooth structure. It is customary to skew stator laminations or magnets to minimize the effects of cogging, but it is difficult to…
