We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Servomotors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Open centre X-Y stages are sub-micron precise from
Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Open centre X-Y stages are for a wide range of applications needing not only nano repeatability and accuracy of position but extreme flatness and straightness of motion".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Power jacks give consistent high performance from
Tsubakimoto UK: "A range of high quality, high precision power jacks for lifting and actuation tasks can be applied in all areas of industry and commerce".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Aerotech
concerning its ARMS series rotary motion simulators
- take a look at Rotary motion simulators test instruments
which says: "Rotary stage and control system for simulating rotary motion provides highly accurate angular rates, acceleration and position profiles for inertial component test systems and instruments".
Take a look also at the news release from NC Engineering, Sliding head automatics quell CNC 'fear',
as well as High-precision laser cuts more productively from Fanuc GE CNC UK,
and Low-cost units bring CNC capabilities to all users from Unimatic Engineers.
