Unlike most cam drive systems, the PRD can start and stop at any incremental position. The motion profile is quickly and easily changed by simply loading a new servo drive program into the system. As a result, this solution delivers precise and flexible indexing and rotary positioning ideal for a wide range of positioning system applications.
