Stepper Motor vs. Servo Motor: What’s the Difference?

Learn the key differences between stepper motors and servo motors, including feedback, speed, torque, efficiency, and ideal applications. Understand the strengths, limitations, and tradeoffs of each technology so you can select the right motion control solution for your machine or automation system.

Motion Control for Non-Engineers: What It Is and Why It Matters

Motion control ensures machines move exactly as intended by controlling speed, position, and coordination. This non-technical overview explains key concepts like servo control, feedback, and synchronized motion, while showing how modern platforms such as InoWorx™ simplify automation by reducing hardware, programming, and integration complexity.

Cardinal Kinetic to Demonstrate Simplified Motion Control at Automate 2026

Cardinal Kinetic will showcase the InoWorx® Motion Control Platform at Automate 2026, demonstrating how integrated hardware, visual programming, and synchronized motor control simplify machine design. Attendees can see the technology in action through a live conveying demonstration at Booth #1231.

What Is Multi-Axis Synchronous Motion and Why Does It Matter?

Multi-axis synchronous motion ensures multiple servo motors move together with precise timing, speed, and position. This article explains how it works, why it’s critical in modern automation, and how InoSync™ within the InoWorx™ platform simplifies coordination for high-speed, multi-axis systems.

How to Simplify Motion Control by Eliminating the Traditional Control Panel

Motion control can be simplified by eliminating the traditional control panel when motion, logic, I/O, safety, and communications are integrated into a single platform and distributed closer to the machine. This approach reduces hardware, wiring, engineering time, and long-term system complexity.

Mastering High-Speed Sewing with Advanced Motion Control

Sewing around the edge of a cloth-like material is a very common process - to wrap the outer edge of the material with a protective and aesthetically pleasing cloth or polyester thread covering. The product types are nearly endless - including baseball caps, uniform emblems, hems on clothing, pillows, blankets, towels and so much more.
