SOFTWARE: helping with motor selection

摘要

Software can help engineers select the right motor regardless of application. But understanding how the facility's environment will affect motion system requirements remains crucial in selecting the right motor, says Matt Prellwitz. Application requirements dictate motor types when engineers define motion system specifications. Software also can help engineers pick the right motor regardless of application. Such systems are crucial in selecting the right motor, along with a clear understanding of how the facility's environment will affect motion system requirements. But software must also consider numerous factors, such as available space, power type, voltage and amperage, and the existing system, to accommodate the new motion system.
