If your new product is going to require automatic control with feedback then an experienced servo & motion control consultant can provide valuable insight into the various control strategies available and the pitfalls associated with various control approaches.  ServoTools staff can help you develop product performance specifications that are realizable.

Modeling is the first place to begin evaluating the design concepts and validating the specifications of the prospective servo & motion control system.  ServoTools staff are highly experienced with MATLAB's SIMULINK modeling and analysis tools for control system design.  Effective use of these modeling tools allows the design team to evaluate control system performance under a variety of possible operating conditions.  Rigorous models are necessary to develop robust control strategies and to provide meaningful validation of product performance.  Inevitably certain assumptions made at the design stage will be invalidated requiring the model to be fine-tuned to match the actual operating conditions and performance of the control system.  ServoTools believes that modeling provides the vision necessary to develop products that will have a high probability of success.

ServoTools consultants can support your next servo & motion control project at all levels:

• Off-the-shelf control system component specification, selection & evaluation
• Mixed signal circuit design to include analog and digital programmable devices
• Precision analog design for control system sensors
• Power amplifier design for driving control system actuators such as motors
• Design for testability
• Embedded DSP & microprocessor hardware/software development
• Software development & control algorithm implementation with high and low level languages
• Printed circuit design, fabrication, product assembly and manufacturing test
• Full development documentation & operating manuals

These services include all levels of support for engineering development from concept through production.

A successful test strategy begins at product conception.  ServoTools can assist you with effective product testing strategies.  Servo & motion control systems have test requirements that are unique compared to most electronic systems.  ServoTools is an expert in this area and its new product line will provide tools to enhance the testing of closed loop control systems.

Satisfied customers are those who receive prompt and concise assessment of malfunctioning products.  Rapid assessment of servo & motion control system problems is only possible with considerable foresight during product development.  ServoTools can provide you with that vision by letting us support you throughout the design and development process of your next servo & motion control system project.
