Accuracy has two aspects. First is the accuracy of the actuator itself, determined by the moving element and its ability to travel in an ideal single-axis path or straight line. An inescapable truth: ...

Slide guides, also known as linear guides, are precise, linear bearings that use rolling elements, either balls or rollers, moving along two raceways to reduce friction and stick-slip to provide ...

For Hackers, rapid prototyping is made easier using basic building blocks such as the Raspberry Pi, Arduino and the huge variety of add on shields for home brew projects. But we don’t see too many ...

Beamline diagnostics are an essential part of any particle accelerator, used to measure and monitor the properties of the particle beam itself. Within these diagnostic systems, precise linear motion ...
