In Motion | August 2026

Written by Iris Dynamics | Aug 31, 2026, 11:42:55 PM

In our August edition of In Motion, we explore a new application story where ORCA™ motors were used as a drop-in retrofit on existing machinery in a thermal clip production facility to mitigate safety risks and keep production running smoothly, we introduce a new tool to help streamline your motor selection process, and we show you how to set up an ORCA motor in < 10 or less in this month's Iris Tutorial. Lastly, we invite you to stop by our booth at MSPO and offer an opportunity for free registration for those going to Kielce, Poland for the event in September.     

Electric Linear Motors as a Drop-In Retrofit for Safer Production | ACS Composites Application Story 

What if you could automate machinery you already have?

See how ACS Composite Systems automated five existing punch presses with ORCA™ motors, improving operator safety and delivering consistent, repeatable motion without replacing their existing equipment. A simple electric actuation solution reduced operators' exposure to pinch hazards and kept this high-volume production line running smoothly and reliably, with minimal downtime.

Linear Motor Sizing Calculator | Choosing the Right ORCA Motor for Your Application 


Not sure which ORCA motor is right for your project?

Our new Linear Motor Sizing Calculator makes it easy to summarize the requirements of your application. Simply enter your basic parameters to receive an instant summary of the required forces, accelerations, and velocities, and export a PDF report. Sharing this data with your Application Engineers will help them recommend a corresponding motor model. Don't guess which model will work for your applications - help us find you the right match in seconds.

How to Set Up an ORCA™ Motor in < 10 Minutes | Focus on Product Development, Not Your Actuation Setup

How easy is it to set up an ORCA motor? Setting up an ORCA motor is simple, with integrated drivers, controllers, and logic. This tutorial shows how easy it is to go from unboxing to motion, with no complicated configuration required. 

See You at MSPO | Stand 7-D37
