Electric motors are the heart of modern industrial automation. They are widely used in conveyors, pumps, compressors, fans, CNC machines, packaging equipment, and countless manufacturing systems. One question that frequently arises among engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel is: Why is the motor starting current so high, and why does it gradually decrease once the motor […]
Why Do Servo Motors Need Homing After Power-Up? In many automated machines, axes move toward a fixed reference point before production begins. This process, known as homing or return-to-zero, is a fundamental step in industrial motion control. Many engineers new to automation often ask: “Servo motors are precise — why can’t they just remember their […]
