Industry Manager Automation
As versatile as industrial automation is: From the point of view drive technology there are specifications and application parameters that apply for (almost) all applications.
Since you only automate where repetitive tasks need to be completed and since cycle times are often too short, the drives quickly reach very high cycle criteria. That is why the components in the drive train need to be durable and low-wear. Depending on the application high demands are made on positioning accuracy. This requires, for instance, the use of highly precise, backlash-free couplings, particularly as linear motions are often performed with short cycles.
