Looking for a speedier path to optimal design of motion systems? Don't overlook software simulation tools for adding confidence to your designs. Shorter product design cycles, lower development costs may be possible, and the web is entering the act.

That new prototype actuator mechanism is complete. Weeks of design work, machining intricate parts, and assembling a complex motion system are happily at an end. The innovative design checks out on paper, and in CAD. Its phys...
