Have you ever been assigned to a #machine and asked to #rebuild it, #recode it, re-something? It can be a daunting task, contributor .Tobey. Strauch. writes, but if #engineers look at everything as a #system with parts, then #reverseengineering is possible on almost anything. Tobey provides 8 steps to the reverse-engineering #process in this column from Control Design. #design #developmentplatforms #ComponentConsiderations #ControlDesign Read the full column here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gNaY-5sJ

Integrating #robotics into a #motion #control system can be challenging. However, when implemented correctly, #robotics can significantly enhance quality and boost overall #production.
