What's the Difference Between a Servo Cable and Motor Cable?
Electrical engineers often work with motor cables and servo cables, which both supply motors with electrical energy and have a nominal voltage of 600/1,000V. But what exactly are the differences between the two cables?
How Digital Manufacturing Technology Can Fill the Talent Shortage
We've been in a phase of connecting machines through IIoT and the next step is expanding that connection to reduce reliance on workers. Right now, there are 2.1 million manufacturing jobs unfilled.
5 Ways Machine Learning Is Improving Manufacturing
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest-growing technologies in the business world today. AI is a broad umbrella, covering many specific technologies, and machine learning is one of the most promising of these.
Three Ways to Improve Production Line Modularity
In today's competitive business environment, customization is key. Manufacturers in all industries are expected to provide a wide range of sizes, colors, styles and assortments, and they're finding that flexible manufacturing strategies are essential for staying competitive.
Process Precision - How Motorised Equipment Aids Testing and Control in Manufacturing
PWC's UK Manufacturing Operations Pulse Survey 2021 found almost half of UK manufacturers are prioritizing robotic process automation over the next two years. Automated equipment can perform to exact requirements, making it inherently advantageous in testing and control.
No Manufacturing Work Shortage if Manufacturers Enroll and Engage Gen Zers
More than appearances, manufacturers must speak to the positivity of a diverse workforce. Gen Zers expect it, they demand it, and will tell friends to work for companies promoting a varied workforce on both Instagram and Tiktok.
The Role of RO in Industrial Manufacturing
When most people hear "reverse osmosis" (RO), their minds likely go to drinking water. While purifying drinking water is a significant use case for it, and arguably its most notable, RO has far broader applications.
Prestigious 140+ Year Old University Delivers Advanced Engineering and Technical Training With Method X

PI USA - Hexapod for Industrial Alignment
This new compact 6-axis hexapod was designed with 24/7 industrial precision alignment tasks and easy serviceability in mind. It is equipped with absolute encoders (no need for referencing) and motor brakes that automatically engage during a loss of power, for extra safety. Debuting at Photonics West 2025 last month, applications include camera lens alignment, micro assembly, and fiber optical alignment applications.
