This month in In Motion, we announce an exciting opportunity for machine builders, integrators, and OEMs, attending Automate 2025. If you have an active innovative automation/product development project, you could qualify to receive a free ORCA-3 smart linear motor. In addition to this opportunity, we share a new Iris Tutorial on shaft mounting, a 6 step guide to selecting the right linear motor for your application, and share a feature in Manufacturing in Focus' magazine.
Are you a machine builder, integrator, or OEM working on an innovative automation or product development project? Attending the 2025 Automate tradeshow this May? You could qualify to receive a free ORCA-3 linear motor, our newest, most compact, high-speed, and cost-effective model yet. Engineered to help you move fast, iterate more quickly, and scale with confidence.
ORCA motors' fully integrated design greatly simplifies installation and setup time. Essentially, with ORCA motors, you have the cable, stator, and shaft. The magnetic stainless steel shaft has been designed to excel in a variety of mounting applications. Watch our short video tutorial to learn how to mount objects to the end of the shaft based on the needs of your application.
In April's edition of Manufacturing in Focus magazine by FMG Publishing, Iris Dynamics is highlighted as a pioneer redefining the future of motion control with our smart technologies. "We're not just a motor manufacturer," says Patrick McFadden, CEO. "We combine motors, motor drivers, controllers, and sensors into a single package, removing the need for multiple vendors and saving engineering time. That integration unlocks entirely new possibilities."
Are you a machine builder evaluating different types of linear actuators for your project? The right actuator gets you to market faster, boosts productivity, and drives performance. The wrong one can cause delays, downtime, and added costs. This article explores six simple steps to guide your decision when selecting the right linear actuator for your application.
