Dover Motion

The following section covers a variety of technical topics related to precision positioning and motion control. It is our goal here to provide material that will help prospective users reach an informed decision concerning the suitability of specific positioning components for their applications. We have noted the general dearth of information of this type, and are familiar with the tendency to hype "specs" at the expense of substance. Glib claims of "sub-micron accuracies" in particular, only have meaning when a comprehensive errror budget is prepared, taking an integrated approach to both the positioning components and the specifics of the application.

We take our responsibility seriously as vendors of secondary reference standards for dimension. We also feel that our customers are better served by having more information at their disposal, not less. Feel free to contact us should you wish to discuss any of the material presented here, or examine the specifics of your application. We look forward to serving you.
