What Are the Motion Control Requirements for Additive Manufacturing Machines?
When developing a 3D printing machine for additive manufacturing, accurate and coordinated motion control is essential. The most common type of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is fused filament fabrication. The construction material is melted into a malleable state and is then extruded through a nozzle. This extrusion, or ‘printing’, takes place in…

New Generation IXARC Multiturn Kit Encoders for Stepper Motors
Built on TMR technology, IXARC modular encoders offer 18-bit resolution and multiturn variants with self-powered counting via ASIC and Wiegand sensors—no gears or batteries needed! Easy to install and ideal as drop-in replacements for most common optical kit encoders such as the E5 (US Digital) and HEDS-5500 (Broadcom), they support SSI and BiSS-C interfaces, making…
