    Why use intelligent drives with integrated motion control for wafer machines?

    AUSTRIA: Motion control is traditionally synonymous with exact position, velocity, and acceleration control. Typically, such applications require complex servo solutions or an AC drive plus an additional motion control assembly and an encoder. With the Integrated Motion Controller (IMC) function, Danfoss offered Bühler Group an attractive alternative to servo motion control.
