Leading players in the motion control drive market are prioritizing the creation of novel products like distributed servo to fulfill the growing requirements for accuracy, productivity, and adaptability in automation across various sectors. The concept behind a distributed servo drive is that the servo drive electronics are situated near or merged with the servo motor, rather than being centralized in a single control cabinet. For example, in July 2023, Rockwell Automation, an American enterprise that produces motion control drives, introduced the ArmorKinetix Distributed Servo Drive. This compact, on-machine product is designed to enhance the efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of production machinery. With its sophisticated analytics, enhanced installation processes, and built-in safety features, it presents a compelling option for manufacturers aiming to cut expenses and boost operational efficiency.
