The DMC-21x5 is the latest addition to the Econo family and is an easy upgrade path from the long running DMC-21x3 series. The DMC-21x5 utilizes nearly all of the same peripherals as the DMC-21x3 controller, making the transition simple. The main difference between the DMC-21x5 and its predecessor is a state of the art ARM … Continue reading Introducing the New DMC-21×5 Multi Axis Motion Controller from Galil Motion Control

Application Story: Motion Controllers for Autonomous Vehicles
Robotic, unmanned vehicles and the associated technology, although advanced, remain limited by their need for a controlling, human source. The US Department of Defense sponsors the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Grand Challenge – one that encourages the development of autonomous ground-based vehicles. The purpose of this challenge is to ultimately find vehicles that … Continue reading Application Story: Motion Controllers for Autonomous Vehicles
Application Story: Laser Inscribing Diamonds Using Motion Controllers
PhotoScribe Technologies, TeoSys Engineering, and Galil Motion Control have combined to create a user-friendly and safe laser system capable of engraving a diamond. This system, the Excimer laser, combines custom software with a Galil DMC-1822 motion controller to allow for the precise inscription of a diamond. Applications of Diamond Engraving Diamond inscription can be used … Continue reading Application Story: Laser Inscribing Diamonds Using Motion Controllers

Introducing Galil’s New C Programming Library
This February Galil introduced a new C application program interface (API) library. This library gives programmers access to powerful routines to interact with Galil motion controllers in a wide variety of application development environments. The Galil C Library, or "gclib", replaces the C++ GalilTools Communication Library. Click on the link below for additional information- Galil's … Continue reading Introducing Galil’s New C Programming Library
Closed-Loop Stepper Motor Performance Gains
A New White Paper from Galil Motion Control Modern motion controllers can include the ability to run stepper motors with encoder feedback, resulting in true closed-loop motion control. This mode of motor control is very similar to standard three-phase brushless servo motor control, where the three phases are offset 120 electrical degrees. With steppers, the … Continue reading Closed-Loop Stepper Motor Performance Gains
